12. I Am to Serve Faithfully, Pt. I

One of the benefits of eating out is that someone else shops for the meal, cooks the meal, and cleans up after the meal. You simply sit there and wait to be served. That is how some people view the church. They see it from the lens of a consumer instead of a contributor. In Ephesians 4:7-16, Paul is going to highlight the diversity in the body of Christ as he encourages us to use our spiritual gifts on behalf of others.
