The You're going to do you.

Do you do you do you do you do

do you do There are people who assume that a pastor's job has to be easy. I mean it's just

one day a week right? But there's a a lot of work a lot of responsibility in this

high calling far beyond what we see from one Sunday to the next today Alistair

Begg takes a look at this important role as we study the book of Ephesians on truth for life.

I invite you to turn with me to Ephesians and chapter 4. We are studying the book of Ephesians

if you're visiting today and we have essentially reached the end of verse 11 and so

we'll read from verse 11 through to the end of the chapter and no to to the end of verse 16.

Ephesians 4 and verse 11 to 16.

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the Evangelists, the Shepherds and Teachers

to equip the Saints for the work of ministry for building up the body of Christ 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.

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. Rather, speaking

the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 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.

Thanks be to God for his word.

And as we turn to the Bible, we turn to God and pray. Heavenly
