Orienteering is a sport in which participants must use clues and follow instructions, while making use of tools like a map and compass, to reach a particular destination. Orienteering is very often a team sport. In many respects the Christian life can be compared to orienteering as we together follow our leader, the Lord Jesus, speaking the truth in love to reach the destination of Christian maturity. We will consider Ephesians 4:15–16 under three broad headings:

1. The Destination

2. The Route

3. The Leader
