In this lesson Ephesians 4:11-16 is explored.  The concept of spiritual gifts is covered. Spiritual gifts are given to individual Christians. Seen another way, these individually gifted Christians are part of Christ's gifts to the church.

Spiritual gifts are given for a variety of reasons. Interestingly, part of the reason is to keep us on track during changing and challenging times: 4 so

that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and

carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by

craftiness in deceitful schemes. (ESV)
