Caring Toward Maturity

Series: Ephesians

February 28, 2010 | David Crosby
Passage: Ephesians 4:7-16

God gives to the church, not just his Spirit and not just his salvation, but also his ministers—gifted individuals such as apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastor-teachers. They operate in the church to equip God’s people for “works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up” (Eph. 4:12).

Maturity among believers is important to God because immaturity makes us vulnerable to all kinds of pressures, enticements, and entanglements. Immature believers do not understand either their place in the purposes of God or the work he has committed to their care.

It’s time for all of us to get off the bottle and grow up!
