To enjoy Christian community requires a personal transformation.
· Ephesians 4:17-32 – The “old self” is a major obstacle to Christian community
· Seek to do good to one another – 1 Th 5:15
· Danger: The world, the flesh, and the devil oppose the church
· The Solution: Put on the new self, and follow Christ’s example
· Application points: Control your anger, seek the well-being of others, follow Christ’s example of forgiveness and love
