3 Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful. Titus 3:14

4 11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of 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 a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13

5 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.
Ephesians 4:7

6 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills. 1 Corinthians 12:11 God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will. Hebrews 2:4

7 11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of 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 a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13

8 Biblical Expectations of the Saint
in a local Church A believer in a local church is to be devoted to God and to the Scriptures: Growing, learning, obeying and sharing God's word (Acts 2:42; Ephesians 4:11-16; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). A believer in a local church is to live a life of Christ-like love – being kind to others, caring for others, serving others and giving to others (Romans 12:9-16). A believer in a local church is to be actively praying with the church and for the church (1 Timothy 2:1-8).

9 Biblical Expectations of the Saint
in a local Church A believer in a local church is to be using his or her spiritual gifts in ministry (1 Peter 4:10-11). A believer in a local church is to contribute financially to the local church (Galatians 6:6; 1 Corinthians 16:1-2). A believer in a local church is to be faithful and timely in attending the weekly worship service (Hebrews 10:25).

10 Biblical Expectations of the Saint
in a local Church A believer in a local church is to live in a loving and honoring relationship with the elders of the church who are given by God to provide humble, servant leadership to that church (1 Peter 5:1-5). A believer in a local church is to be so concerned for the body that if he or she believes that congregation has stopped or is not following the Scriptures, he or she will make an honoring appeal to the church leadership so that the church can be corrected and become more honoring to Christ (Galatians 6:1; 1 Timothy 5:1).

11 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God
For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10

12 11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of 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 a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13
