Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard | Eph. 4:11-13 The sermon emphasizes that every believer has a vital role in the church, urging members to move from being passive spectators to active participants in the body of Christ. Drawing primarily from Ephesians 4, the message outlines five specific commands for Christian fellowship: loving one another as Christ loved, serving one another, showing grace and compassion, maintaining unity of mind, and preferring others above oneself. The preacher argues that spiritual health depends on this mutual edification and warns against treating church as mere entertainment or a place to avoid responsibility. Ultimately, the text connects these practical instructions for community life with the foundational truth that salvation is a free gift received through faith in Jesus Christ.
