Spiritual Maturity Ephesians 4:1-16 May 20, 2012 Guest Speaker: Pastor David Ho Sang

SPIRITUAL MATURITY IS THE BODY OF CHRIST 1)Living God’s worthy call totally (vv. 1-2). 1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, (vv. 1-2)

SPIRITUAL MATURITY IS THE BODY OF CHRIST 2) Maintaining the Spirit’s unity passionately (vv. 3-6). 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (vv. 3-6)

SPIRITUAL MATURITY IS THE BODY OF CHRIST 3)Exercising Christ’s spiritual gifts grace-fully (vv. 7-11). 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.” 9 ( In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers (vv.7-11)

SPIRITUAL MATURITY IS THE BODY OF CHRIST 4) Fulfilling the Head’s purposes ultimately (vv ). 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 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. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. (vv.12-16)

SPIRITUAL MATURITY IS THE BODY OF CHRIST 4)Fulfilling the Head’s purposes ultimately (vv ). Christians equipped optimally for service. Christians becoming increasingly like Christ. Christians grounded firmly in beliefs and behaviors. Christians communicating truthfully in love. Christians growing individually and corporately.

THREE PRACTICAL QUESTIONS FOR OUR EVERYDAY LIFE 1.How am I becoming more like Christ? How will I become even more like Christ? 2.How am I proactively keeping the Spirit’s unity? What will we continue or change to keep or restore this unity? 1.What is my present function and ideal function in the body of Christ? How are these functions aligned, or how will they be better aligned?
