Pastor Park Young-sun, a senior pastor at Nampo Church #Pastor Park Young-sun, who builds the foundation of faith, Ephesians sermon [Ephesians 6:5-8] 5 Servants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ. 6 Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 Doing service with good will, as to the Lord, and not to men, 8 Knowing that whatever good thing any one does, the same will be received from the Lord, whether he is slave or free. “The church is salt and light, not a hammer and sword.” The church is a place that changes the world with salt and light, not a hammer and sword that judges and condemns people. Through the words of Ephesians 6:5-8, we look back on the essence of the church and faith. In these words, Paul tells servants to serve their masters faithfully as if they were Christ. However, this does not simply mean oppression or coercion. The important point is **“Do not do with eye service, but do the will of God from the heart” (Eph 6:6)**. In other words, it is not external obedience or formal behavior, but **“Do it with a cheerful heart, as to the Lord” (Eph 6:7)**. Isn’t the reason why the church is rigid today because we have forgotten this point? Aren’t we holding a hammer and a sword to judge and condemn each other? However, the purpose of God establishing the church is to change the world with salt and light. The role of the church is not to expose or criticize people’s mistakes, but to permeate like salt and shine warmly like light. God remembers each person’s good deeds (Eph 6:8). This word that everyone, whether slave or free, receives a reward from the Lord makes us realize the essence of the church again. The church should not be a tool of criticism, but a tool of grace and love. Through this video, I hope you will meditate on the role of salt and light and renew your attitude toward our church and faith. 🙏 • The role and mission of the church • Why the church is salt and light • How the church should not become a hammer and sword that judges • Commentary on Ephesians 6:5-8 • Serving with a joyful heart • A life that does God's will • How to keep the church from becoming rigid • The nature and mission of the church • What the church must restore • Why the church becomes a hammer and sword • Beyond the criticism and judgment of the church • Finding the essence of religious life • The role of salt and light in Christianity • Paul's teaching on servants and masters • The secret to a life that receives God's reward #Ephesians #Ephesians verse #Ephesians 6 #Word meditation #Bible commentary #Bible verse #God's will #Word video #Salt and light #The essence of the church #The mission of the church #The role of the church #Church restoration #Church of love #Do not judge #Do not condemn #Church of grace #Spiritual growth #Life of faith #Serving with joy #God's reward #Spiritual restoration #Not a servant but light #No blind obedience #JoyfulObedience #Christianity #Christian #ChurchLife #BibleStudy #ReligiousLife #Jesus #God #HolySpirit #ChristianLife #ChristianYouTube #Salvation #God'sLove #DepthofFaith #HowToWorship #ThoseWhoHaveCompassion #ServingGod #LivingAccordingToTheWilloftheLord #WeAlwaysBetrayTheLordBut #IfYouReadTheBible Pastor LeeJaeCheol, Pastor ParkYoungSun, Pastor OkHanHeum, Pastor LeeChanSu, Pastor YooKiSeong #PastorParkYoungSun #RisingPopularity #Faith #PastorParkYoungSunSermon #SpecialLectureSermon #Theology #WorldView #PastorParkYoungSunEphesians #EphesiansWordsofLife #EphesiansExposition #EphesiansThatChangesLife #EphesiansForAGreatLifeWithTheGospel #Worship #Compassion #ServingGod #YourWordIsALampToMyFeet #AccordingToTheWilloftheLord #IfYouReadTheBible #PowerfulPrayer #The Secret of Answered Prayer #The Power of Prayer #The Prayer Jesus Taught Us #Pray to the Heavenly Father
