The Characteristics of a Worthy Walk
Gerald Harris
Ephesians 4:1-3
I love the book of Ephesians. In Ephesians 1-3 Paul talks about the wealth of the Christian. In chapters 4-5 he talks about the walk of the Christian and in chapter 6 he talks about the warfare of the Christian.
Now, Paul is talking to the church in Ephesus and he urges them to walk by the Spirit. He tells us in Ephesians 5:18 to be filled with the Spirit. In Ephesians 5:8 he tells us to walk as children of light. In Ephesians 5:2 he tells us to walk in love. I know your theme at this time is ''Growing Together.'' So, this morning I want us to think about growing together and walking together as the people of God.

The first man to walk around the world was a man by the name of David Kunst of Waseca, Minnesota. He completed his historic walk on October 5, 1974, after walking 15,000 miles. The trip required four and one-half years, during which time David went through 22 pairs of shoes and wore out two mules. David was accompanied by his brother John, but during the event John was shot and killed by bandits in Afghanistan. David was shot in the chest during the same attacked but survived by playing dead. After spending four months recovering from his injuries, Davie resumed his journey along with Pete, his other brother. They started from the spot where John was killed but completed their historic journey.
Most people find It neither appealing nor practical to be a David Kunst and accept the ...
