Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in Ephesians 4 today. Have you ever had to talk your legs into moving to walk, or move your body without having to go through a lot of effort to do so? Then congratulations, your body is working exactly as it should. Now of course there are diseases and illnesses that cause the body to not communicate with its parts, and the body of Christ is very similar. As a church, we should be doing things together without having to even think about it. Whether it be planning mission trips, assigning weekly tasks to keep the church running, or voting on changes within the church, it should all be seamless without bickering. But as soon as we let ourselves try to do what the Holy Spirit didn’t tell us to do is when we have these communication issues, and the body breaks down. We won’t be perfect, which is where grace comes in, but we should be obedient in utilizing the spiritual gifts that God has given us.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20
