April 19, 2020: Church Foundations

Ephesians series message 23

Text: Ephesians 4:7-16

We'll spend two weeks on this passage. This Sunday we'll lay the groundwork for the different gifts/offices within the church, and what it means that Christ descended to the lower regions. God uses people and their unique gifts and offices to build up the church and prepare her for ministry. If we are going to walk in the manner worthy of our calling, we need order in God's House to facilitate this. Next week we'll continue with the desired end: that Christians mature and are not tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine.
