TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Ephesians 4:10–16 - He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) [11] And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, [12] to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up 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 mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, [14] 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. [15] Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, [16] 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. (ESV)

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, my friends. Welcome back to the morning mindset. This is our opportunity to get our minds |
| 0:09.5 | align with the truth of God's word for this day. I wonder, do you understand what the work of the |
| 0:16.8 | church really is? Is it just about worship gatherings on a Sunday morning? Is it about conducting |
| 0:24.2 | Bible studies and trying to get people to be good? You see, the book of Ephesians chapter 4 gives |
| 0:30.7 | us a pretty clear outline of what the church is to be all about. And that's important for us to |
| 0:37.0 | understand as we continue in our |
| 0:38.6 | series called God's story. We're in what you might consider to be episode 56, looking at God's |
| 0:44.8 | pivotal moments and key instructions in the life of what he is doing in the world. We're going to get |
| 0:52.6 | to that in just a moment. But before we do, I want to encourage you to recognize that you can make a difference in the |
| 0:59.0 | lives of someone else by sharing the morning mindset with them. |

| 1:12.0 | the morning mindset with? That's how the podcast grows and I appreciate any effort you'll put in that |
| 1:18.4 | direction. Okay, before we dig into Ephesians 4, let's pray together. Our God, we want to understand |
| 1:25.2 | your instruction here in Ephesians chapter 4 for the sake of living out this work of the church that you have for us to be engaged in. |
| 1:33.4 | We ask in Jesus' name. Amen. |
| 1:36.7 | Okay, friends, now when we use the phrase church, we're not talking about a building. |
| 1:41.7 | We're not talking about an organization even. We're not talking about a building. We're not talking about an organization even. |
| 1:44.4 | We're not talking about a service industry sort of organization. |
