I want us to consider Ephesians 4:11-3 which says, So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 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 (NIV). According to this passage, what is the job of church leaders? What is the job of the people they lead? Why might it be important to understand what God has called us to do within a church community?
