Theme: “The Church: Family of God's Children» Text: Ephesians 4:11-16

11. And he gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors and teachers, 12. for the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry and the building up of the body of Christ, 13. until we have all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to the state of man made, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 . so that we are no longer children, floating and carried away by every wind of doctrine, by the deceit of men, by their craftiness in the means of seduction, 15. but that, professing the truth in charity, we grow to all respects in him who is the head, Christ. 16. It is from him, and thanks to all the bonds of his assistance, that the whole body, well coordinated and forming a solid assembly, draws its increase according to the force which is appropriate to each of its parts, and builds itself up. -even in charity.

Remember:

It is for the growth, stability and perfection of the Church, the family of God's children; that our God has set up this organization. The Church must move forward in order, discipline, obedience and in love. This is how the Lord God has graced several members to have abilities that are not the fruit of their efforts. These people are offered to the Church as God's gift or gift to the Church. Their mission is to help the family of God's children to reach perfection; to the stature of grown men. The mission of these people is to help the family to nourish itself spiritually but also to acquire the unity of faith. At this time the family will no longer be unstable or tossed about by foreign doctrines; she will no longer seek nourishment from satan. Thus, the increase and edification of the body of Christ will be palpable. To achieve this, each member of the family must participate in the growth of the Church by putting their capacity to love to work, because love is the foundation of family life. Excellent Sunday.
