Bible Verses: Ephesians 4   John 10: 11-14  1Peter 2: 25


 

Theological Theme:

The Father, Son and Spirit God Loves and Leads His Church and all humanity with order and not chaos. Part of that leadership and order happens in the Church, as it reads in Ephesians 4:11, where it notes that Jesus himself “gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers.”

Christ Connection:

Jesus, the Son of God as Man is the great Bishop and Overseer of human souls! In the Spirit He calls men and women to participate with him in his pastoring of his Church in its earthly/historical form. They are ones specially commissioned “12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into maturity with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness. 14 Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit. 15 But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head—Christ. 16 From him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building itself up in love by the proper working of each individual part.”

Missional Application:

Even as Christ on His Mission from the Father declared in the Spirit “the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”, Mark 1:15, so He sends forth his preachers and people to proclaim His Good News to all that they may receive and believe it.

Romans 10:14 “How, then, can they call on him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about him? And how can they hear without a preacher? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news. 16 But not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our message? 17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ. 18 But I ask, “Did they not hear?” Yes, they did:

Their voice has gone out to the whole earth,
and their words to the ends of the world.”
