Vices Vandalizing Relationships | 11.16.25 | Pastor Bob Tome

From the series "Unity In The Body: A Study of Ephesians"

In this message from Ephesians 4:25–32, Pastor Bob teaches about “putting off” old vices and “putting on” Christlike character. Using vivid illustrations and biblical examples, he walks through five destructive behaviors—lying, unrighteous anger, stealing, corrupt speech, and bitterness—and shows how each one can sabotage relationships and spiritual growth. Drawing from passages in Proverbs, James, and the teachings of Jesus, Pastor Bob calls believers to embrace truth, resolve anger before it festers, work with integrity, use life-giving words, and pursue forgiveness over bitterness. With references to Pilgrim’s Progress and real-life stories, the message urges Christians to reject the “ball and chain” of sinful habits and to walk in the freedom and renewal the Holy Spirit offers.
