Series: The Church Jesus is Building
3/11/12
Any time you set out to build something you need a blue print, a set of plans. Those blue prints not only define the shape and structure of the building, but they allow everyone involved in the project, to know exactly what to do. Jesus, as the master designer, architect and builder of His church has provided just such a blue print in His word for the building of His church.
Something we see clearly in this passage, as well as others, is that Jesus is building people who will build His church. Here in Eph 4, God provides the plan and pattern for building believers who will build His church. As we look at this passage, God reveals to us several vital truths that will build our lives, and build His church. He reveals the gifts of ministry, the goals of ministry, and the growth process of ministry.
