Sermon
You, However…
The Commons Church
Speaker: Austin Wadlow
May 31, 2026 · 35 min
Summary
Paul contrasts those following Christ with those following the world's ways, using the phrase "you, however" to challenge believers to live distinctly through faithful teaching, conduct, love, and steadfast endurance in God's unchanging Word amid increasing cultural opposition.
Highlights
The road that you're walking on is evidence of the gate that you've walked through.
We don't live different so that we can be saved. We live different because we have been saved.
If our goal is to stay in the middle of the culture, rather than anchored to the word of God, then what's gonna happen is we will eventually find ourselves affirming things that God forbids and denying things that God commands.
