Becoming vs. Unbecoming Conduct

It was a blessing to have Pastor Gable preach for us this morning in
the subject of becoming conduct for a soldier of Jesus Christ.

Eph. 5:1-8
1. The Extent of Unbecoming conduct. It covers every area of life.
--A battle between what you should do and what you ought to do.
--Marked by an absence of thought.
Gal 5:17; Rom. 7:18 Realize that the flesh will never apply the brakes.
2. Examples of unbecoming conduct
A) a Sovereign 2 Kings 11:1
David's unbecoming thoughts.
B) a Soldier 1 Sam. 17:11
The unbecoming fear of Saul and the armies of Israel against Goliath.
C) a Servant 2 Sam. 16:1
Ziba's unbecoming speech
2. The Exhortation of Becoming conduct.
2 Tim. 4:1-2 Becoming conduct is a readiness to obey, vs an unwilling,
apathetic spirit.
