Would you turn to Ephesians 4 this morning, please?

Ephesians 4.

Ephesians 411 says he gave some apostles and some prophets and some evangelists and some pastors and teachers

for the perfecting of the saints. the what of the saints now what does

that word mean perfecting it means to bring to its full end or complete completion it's also translated maturity because that is, you know, whether you're talking about

financial instrument, we talk about such and such matures at a certain time, are you talking

about a child growing up and mature?

What does that mean they are mature?

That means they've grown about as much as they're going to grow.

Right?

They have come to their full development.

Well, should the saints be developing?

And one of the biggest things we have to help us grow up are the ministry gifts. Is that right? It's not my words. That's what he said.

That's why he gave us these gifts. These gifts are to help us do what? Read it. They're given for what?

For the perfecting, the maturing, the developing, the completion of the saints, for what?

Well, if all the saints are matured and grow up, is that going to affect the ministry of the Lord Jesus in the earth?

Every believer has a ministry.

Let me say that again real slow.

Every believer.

I just feel like I'm called, Brother Keith.

We're all called.

Got a call on my life.
