Ephesians 4:1-16
(Sermon outline for June 28)
God calls us to live and serve in harmony with other believers.
- God created you as a unique individual.
Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness. But that doesn't mean you should all look and speak and act the same. Out of the generosity of Christ, each of us is given his own gift.
Ephesians 4:6-7 The Message
o Unique personality
o Unique spiritual gifts
o Unique personal passions
o Unique network
o Unique opportunities
- God calls on you to live in sync with other believers.
o God gives us complementary gifts.
o Grow and mature through practicing the faith.
o Use your gift to strengthen the body of Christ.
o Convey the truth in love.
o The common mission keeps the body together.
From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Ephesians
Getting in sync with God requires getting in sync with God’s mission which requires getting in sync with God’s people.
