Ephesians 4.1-16, Tristan.
1. Paul’s agenda for the Ephesians
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. (Verse 1)
2. Jesus’ agenda for his church
Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (Verses 11-13)
3. Our agenda at BPC
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. (Verses 15-16)
