Made for More: The Gospel at Home (and Everywhere Else) Part 2

What fuels your home life and work life—pressure, performance, or the power of the Holy Spirit?

In Part 2 of The Gospel at Home (and Everywhere Else) from our Made for More series, Pastor Ezra unpacks Ephesians 6:1–9 to show how the gospel reshapes two areas we all navigate daily: parenting and work. This message builds on the foundation of Ephesians 5:18: Be filled with the Spirit. That one verse fuels everything Paul says about family and vocation.

Paul begins with children and parents—not from a behavioral angle but a discipleship one. Children are not distractions; they’re image-bearers. They need more than correction; they need gospel-anchored guidance. Parents, especially fathers, are called to model the faith—not just manage disobedience. Discipleship starts with presence, grace, and a clear picture of Jesus in everyday moments.

Then Paul shifts to work, challenging both bondservants and masters to see their roles differently. Work isn’t a grind for a paycheck—it’s worship. When Jesus is your true Master, your effort, attitude, and integrity take on eternal weight. Paul reminds us: you may never get the applause, but God sees it all—and He’s the one who rewards.

Whether you’re leading your home or leading a team, whether you’re raising kids or running a company, this passage challenges you to embrace a gospel mindset that touches everything.

Because the gospel isn’t just for your Sunday. It’s for your family. It’s for your job. It’s for your real life.

And when the Spirit fills your life, your home becomes more than a safe place—it becomes a space of transformation. Your work becomes more than a job—it becomes a daily offering to the Lord.
