In this message from Ephesians 5:3-20, we take a hard look at two very different ways to live: as sons of disobedience or as children of light. Using the fascinating history of the ancient city of Ephesus, whose harbor literally filled with silt until the city died, we explore what it looks like to 'dredge the harbor' in our own lives, clearing out the habits, patterns, and influences that quietly choke out what matters most. Paul's contrast between darkness and light isn't just poetic, it's practical, and it has everything to do with how we use our words, our time, our relationships, and even our celebrations. If you've ever wondered what it actually looks like to live a set-apart life without being weird about it, this one's for you.
