The Church is Our Stronghold
(Part II-The Method)
Text: Ephesians 4:11-16
Thesis: The Church is the Body of Christ, a Spiritual Stronghold, a refuge for the Saints, a hospital for sinners and well-fortified by capable Spirit-filled workers of Christ.
Jesus speaks about those who failed to recognize those God sent out and includes himself in the discussion. (Read Mark 12:1-12)
Moses’ own sister-Miriam and brother-Aaron were punished by God for failing to recognize the calling of the brother. (Read Numbers 12:1-13)
“I believe my main responsibilities as a Pastor are 1) Love the people, 2) Feed the people and 3) “Prepare God’s people for a work of service.” (Find people a Job. 😊)
Pastor Chuck Ryan
their Spiritual gifting is and engage in a “Work of Service”.
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10)
The “Work of Service” may be performed in the Church, out of the Church or both.
III. The Apostle Paul reveals the positive result of this is “that the body of Christ may be built up.” (Vs 12-15)
