Our Commission as Leaders Ephesians 4:11-16 “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; then we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro…but, speaking the truth in love, we may grow up in all things into Him who is the head-Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, and causes growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.”

Ephesians 4 Commission of Church Leaders

The Commission of the Local Church

1 Corinthians 12:4-6

There are a diversity of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. There are diversities if activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
