There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word.

Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message given through Scott's

pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days.

It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today. And I'm going to just be very brief, but I want to give you something from the Word of God.

What book do you think we should go to this afternoon?

All right, let's go to Ephesians then, if that's where you want to go. And we return to this book of fullness, and that's what it is. And not just fullness, a book of divine fullness. Don't you think we've had about enough of what men can do? It's a book of divine fullness, full of all spiritual blessings, and full of grace and glory,

and full of love and power, and full of heavenly riches and resources.

That's what the book is.

I hope you have these marked in your Bible.

Ephesians 1, verse 23, we are to be the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.

Jesus is all in all to us. Again, we have in chapter three,

verse number 19, filled with all the fullness of God. By the way, that word might be implies that it is not a certainty. It's possible, it's available, but it must be chosen and it must be appropriated then you come to chapter

four and you have marked in verse number 13 under the measure of the stature of the fullness of

christ we're not measuring the church by the way the world measures things god God uses a different measuring stick.

Remember, his ways are higher than our ways,

and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts.

We measure everything by the Word of God,

and specifically we measure everything by the living word,

by the fullness of Christ in a place.

How big was the church in Ephesus?

How made they run in Thessalonica and Sunday school?
