Cultivating a Culture of Honor (35 of 40)
Series: Emerge: Identity
Jesus Culture - Banning Liebscher
Ephesians 6:1-9
This week, we are going to look at the importance of cultivating a culture of honor. What does ''culture of honor'' mean? Essentially, it means we practice the love of God on a daily basis, treating one another with respect and submitting to one another as Paul wrote in Ephesians 5-6. We honor and value others as a way of expressing the love and nature of Christ.
An important part of building a culture of honor is choosing not to hold things against people or think condemning thoughts toward them. Instead, we genuinely care for them and consider them ''as better than ourselves'' (Phil. 2:3). We are called to submit to one another in honor.
In the last two sessions, we talked about how Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her - that is honor. He considered us worth His sacrifice, and we should consider others the same way.
