Sermon
Building the Church | Ephesians 4:25-32
Treeline Church
Speaker: Austin Smith
March 9, 2025 · 34 min
Summary
Paul teaches that the church is a building constructed by its members, not just leaders, and instructs believers on how to build it well: through honesty, reconciliation, generous service, and life-giving words. The sermon explores how bitterness, selfishness, and destructive speech undermine the church, while grace and the gospel foundation enable believers to build a thriving community.
Highlights
If you call yourself a part of Treeline Church, you don't just have like a role here. Like you have the role here. Because this church will become what I build it into, what you build it into, what we build it into together.
When I finally stepped into the light and showed people the real me, that is when I finally experienced what community is like.
Austin, do you want to be right, or do you want to be reconciled to your brother? Which one will you have?
