Ephesians series message 24

Text: Ephesians 4:7-16

Christ is our champion; the author and perfecter of our faith. HE has come, HE is victorious, and HE has given us His Spirit. We'll focus on the desired end of the gifts and leaders God's given to the church: spiritual maturity and doctrinal purity. Paul has just urged us to maintain the unity of the Spirit which involves demonstrating meekness and patience with one another. Authentic Christian unity is built upon sound doctrine and spiritual growth. In a word, discipleship.
