What Are We Here For?
Becoming
Like Christ
Memory Verse: Colossians 1:28 (NKJV) 28 Him we
preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may
present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
TEXT: Ephesians 4:22–32

Throw off Your Old Way
of Life

Corinthians 5:16
2.
Transform your Thoughts
Ephesians 4:23; Romans
12:2; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Proverbs 23:7; John 17:17
“Conversion
is a crisis that leads to a process. Through Christ, once and for all, we have
been given a new position in His new creation, but day by day, we must by faith
appropriate what He has given us. The Word of God renews the mind as we
surrender our all to Him.”—Warren Wiersbe
3.
Take on a New Way of Living
Ephesians 4:24; Ephesians
4:25–32; Proverbs 15:1
“Anyone
can become angry. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree,
at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way—this is not
easy.”—Aristotle, Greek Philosopher
