Practical Tips To Strengthen Your Relationship Within The Body of Christ | Matt Teigrob

How are you doing with your relationships in the body of Christ? In this message Matthew Teigrob explores Ephesians 4:25-32 and discovered five powerful tips for strengthening our connections with fellow believers.

We're called to practice honesty at all times, express anger appropriately (yes, righteous anger exists!), maintain proper work ethic, and put away harmful behaviors like bitterness, wrath, and slander. Most importantly, we must remember we're all "EGR people" - Extra Grace Required. None of us are perfect. We all need the grace we've freely received from Christ.

When we fail to live out these principles, we grieve the Holy Spirit. But when we choose kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness, we reflect Christ's love to a watching world. The truth is simple: if we can't get along within the church family, what do we have to offer those outside?

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. - Ephesians 4:32
