Don’t Be a Child | Ephesians 4:7-16
When the gospel came to Ephesus in the first century AD, a riot broke out. The good news of Jesus upended pagan ways of thinking and living. A similar confrontation awaits us as we encounter Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. This glorious epistle challenges us to ponder the story we're living in, the purpose we're pursuing, and the relationships we're building along the way. In this series, we see how gospel doctrine ignites renewal and love as we get swept up in God’s purpose to unite and fill all things in Jesus Christ.
What keeps us from maturity and growth? How might we become more mature in our discipleship to Jesus. While it is easy to remain immature, maturity in Christ is a process of continual trust and reliance on the grace of Christ. In this teaching we explore what often prevents us from maturity and how we might grow in maturity in Christ.
