Ephesians 2:21

 

Ephesians 2:21

God is Masterfully Building His Church

 

Eph 2:21  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 

            1.      Each and Every Believer has a Special Place in God’s Church

a.       Each of us were chosen by God before time began

                                                              i.      Ephesians 1:4 

b.      Each of us were carefully selected for a special place in the Kingdom

                                                              i.      Matthew 13:47-50 

c.       Each of us will be faithfully worked on until God has accomplished His work in us

                                                              i.      Hebrews 12:7-11 

d.      Each of us have a special work to accomplish

                                                              i.      2 Corinthians 3:2-4 

e.       Each of us have a unique gifting

                                                              i.      1 Corinthians 12:4-7

             2.      The Purpose of the Church is to Grow

a.       To Grow Numerically

                                                              i.      The church that refuses to reach out will die

1.      Acts 2:38-42 

b.      To Grow Spiritually

                                                              i.      The church that does not work on maturing believers will die

1.      Ephesians 4:11-16 

             3.      The Purpose of the Church is to be an Habitation for God

a.       God dwells in the believer individually

                                                              i.      1 Corinthians 6:19-20 

b.      God dwells in the believers corporately

                                                              i.      Revelation 21:3
