    Being Equipped
    by Rick Joyner

    This week’s text has become one of the most quoted, and to some the most controversial, scriptures in recent times, Ephesians 4:11-13:


    And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

    for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;

    Being Filled
    by Rick Joyner

    This week’s text, Ephesians 4:9-10, ties together even more firmly the message of the verses that we have studied the last two weeks.

    There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

    A Worthy Walk
    by Rick Joyner

    This week we begin our study of one of the most concise chapters in the Scriptures for revealing the calling and purpose of the church, Ephesians 4.

    There is a pattern in Paul’s letters that is also followed in this one. The first part is usually a reminder of many general principles of the faith. Then he boldly declares the main purpose for the letter concisely and powerfully. He then finishes with encouragement.

    Ephesians 4 is one of the most bold and powerful of all of his messages to the churches. We will begin with looking at verses...
