Purpose & Position
Feb 4, 2024 • Owen Mason
In the sermon, titled "Purpose & Position," we look into Ephesians 4:12-16, where the apostle Paul emphasizes equipping saints for ministry, fostering unity, and building up the body of Christ. Matthew 16:19 reveals the authority given by Christ to bind and loose in the kingdom. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us of God's plans for our welfare and a hopeful future. As believers, understanding God's will (Philippians 1:6, Ephesians 5:17, Psalms 138:8) and embracing our unique roles within the body (Romans 12:3-6, 1 Corinthians 12:14-27) are crucial. Embracing God's purpose (Romans 8:28-29, Philippians 4:13) leads us to reflect Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18, Acts 4:13, Philippians 2:13) and fulfill our royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9).
