Ingredients for the Walk | Sermon Only | Reverend Keith W. Reed, Jr.

About this sermon

In this thought-provoking and energetic sermon, *Reverend Keith W. Reed Jr.* unpacks the tension between being **called by God** and feeling **conflicted by life**. Preaching from *Ephesians 4:1–3*, Rev. Reed challenges believers to walk **worthy of their calling**, even when their circumstances don’t seem to match their identity in Christ. With vulnerability and humor, Rev. Reed relates the Apostle Paul’s message—written from prison—to our modern struggles of self-doubt, insecurity, and comparison. He explains that being **chosen by God** is not based on performance, perfection, or position. It’s rooted in God’s eternal decision to place something powerful inside of us—even when we don’t recognize it ourselves. The sermon also explores the often misunderstood virtue of **humility**, clarifying that true humility is not insecurity but a confident surrender to God's leading. Rev. Reed uses vivid illustrations—like soulful cooking that takes time and care—to show that spiritual maturity requires ingredients like patience, gentleness, unity, and love. Whether you feel unqualified, overlooked, or unsure of your path, this sermon reminds you: **You are chosen, equipped, and still in the plan of God.** --- **📖 KEY SCRIPTURES:** * *Ephesians 4:1–3* – “Walk worthy of the calling with which you were called…” * *Psalm 25:9* – “He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” * *1 Peter 5:5–6* – “Clothe yourselves with humility... for God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.” * *James 4:10* – “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.” --- **📲 FOLLOW US ON:** 🌐 Website – [thesbc.org](https://thesbc.org) 📘 Facebook – Sharon Baptist Church 📸 Instagram – [@thesbcphilly](https://instagram.com/thesbcphilly) 📺 YouTube – Sharon Baptist Church of Philadelphia --- **💒 TO GIVE OFFERING OR DONATION:** 🌐 Online – [thesbc.org/giving](https://thesbc.org/giving) 📱 Text – Text “give” to 610-379-3818 📬 Mail –  Sharon Baptist Church Business Office  3955 Conshohocken Ave  Philadelphia, PA 19131 --- **🔔 LIKE | SHARE | SUBSCRIBE** Did this message speak to you? **Like** this video, **share** it with a friend, and **subscribe** to our channel for weekly encouragement and biblical truth to help you live out your calling with confidence and clarity. --- **#Hashtags:** #RevKeithWReedJr #CalledButConflicted #Ephesians4 #WalkWorthy #ChosenByGod #SpiritualGrowth #IdentityInChrist #Humility #SBCPhilly #FaithOverFeelings #GraceAndTruth #ChristianEncouragement #SharonBaptistChurch #YouAreCalled --- 🙌 **Remember: You may be conflicted—but you're still called.** Walk worthy.
