After a month of studying the three harvests of the first resurrection in Ephesians 4:9-10, we were able to get back into our overview of this incredibly deep book of church doctrine. Paul deals with no major doctrine problems, like the Corinthians, but lays out three chapters of great doctrine, the wealth of our faith, and then three chapters of application, the duty / the work of our new life in Christ. In Ephesians 4:7-8, and 11-16 explains our responsibility in the local church, to grow in grace, and minister to one another in the body of Christ. Next Sunday, we will study how we are to grow from infancy to maturity within the church. “Evangelists are spiritual obstetricians! Pastors and teachers are spiritual pediatricians!”
