Dwelling Deeply in Christ | Colossians 3:15-17

A Community Designed for Maturity | Ephesians 4:12-16

Listen in as we look to be reminded in how the entire community of the local church is beautifully designed by God to participate in the maturing process that God is doing in each of our lives. This is the call for all the saints! In fact, Ephesians 4 gives us the sense that both we and the church lose if we are not integrally connected to and serving others in the local church. May the Lord grant us grace, vision, and faith to participate in His great design for His church, whether we belong to Redeeming Grace Church or to some other gospel preaching church. Soli Deo Gloria!

Deacons: The Choicest of Servants | Acts 6:1-7, 1 Timothy 3:8-13

This week, we get to study and reflect upon the risen and ascended Christ's gifts of deacons for the church. Deacons are the choicest of servants, and fulfill the second office of the church in a public prominent role of service. Who are they and what do they do? Let's explore together and consider this vital and pivotal role in the church.

Ordinary Pastors for an Extraordinary Task | Acts 20:17-38

Listen in as we slow down in Ephesians 4, and look at Acts 20 and other texts which talk about shepherds/pastors/elders/overseers, refreshing ourselves in what this office looks like, and what to look for in a man who is qualified to be an elder. Join us as we contemplate God's design for the office of elder, and appreciate the gift(s) from the ascended Christ.

The Gracious Gifts of Leaders | Ephesians 4:7-11

The NT describes leaders as gifts to the church. While we know leaders are not perfect, we also know this is God's design to have men lead His church. Listen in to discover the divine design for leadership in the church, and be encouraged by how God provides care, equipping, and governance to His church faithfully and by His gracious design.

The Glorious Design of Our Calling: The Church | Ephesians 4:7-16

Listen in as we return to our series on Ephesians, where Paul lays out the most glorious picture of what our calling is designed to create and build up: the church. This message unpacks some of the pieces that go into the church and how this is intended and designed by God to bring about maturity and health in the local church when each part is working properly, building the body up in love.
