Ramsey Creek Baptist Church

In v.7 we see that every believer is gifted by Christ with varied grace, and in v.11 we see that the church is gifted by Christ with people in varied offices. God has given gifted leaders to the church to equip the saints for the work of ministry, not to do it all themselves. This is an “every-member ministry” mindset that we - the church - need to keep in front of ourselves. The result of this kind of mindset is unity and maturity [v.13]. Every believer enters the Christian life as a little child, but no believer should be content to remain that way. Believers should be pursuing maturity, standing firm on believing the Bible, and eagerly speaking truth in a way that shows love and care. Christian maturity involves loving the truth, speaking the truth, and living the truth. The church is able to grow as we should because Jesus took on human flesh, lived a perfect life, died in our place, rose victorious over the grave, and is now exalted at God’s right hand forevermore! * Do you care ab
