Ephesians: Home and Work - Chris Dillon, Lead Pastor 08 24 25

Ephesians 6:1–9 reminds us that the gospel shapes every relationship in our lives, starting at home and extending into our work. Paul calls children to obey and honor their parents, which brings blessing and reflects trust in God’s good design. Parents, in turn, are commanded not to provoke or discourage their kids, but to lovingly guide them toward Christ and nurture faith in their hearts. The passage also reframes how we view our work - whether leading or following, we serve ultimately for the Lord, not human approval. When we see family life and daily work as arenas of worship, ordinary obedience becomes extraordinary service to Jesus. Together, this passage shows how the gospel transforms both our homes and our workplaces for God’s glory.
