Sermon Tone Analysis

The Dessert For Israel a Place in Which they Are being Refined

Rephaim was a place of being stretched and the people were grumbling

Moses Cannot Do it Alone

Joshua chooses men for battle

Aaron and Hur ascend to the viewing place

Moses must stay in the fight

Moses gets much of the credit but it took a group of appointed and anointed people to accomplish the work ahead of them....

The work of repairing the breaches of the church will require a restoration of the workforce in the body of Christ.

Building Up the Body of Christ

Five Fold Ministry

Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Shepherds, Teachers.

These are the builders and helpers of the church modern

These will equip the saints for ministry

They are here to stay

Many today will dismiss the Apostles and Prophets

Asked big “A”apostles or little “a”

No where in scripture does it state they have ceased to be.

Their function will cease when

we achieve unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God

to mature manhood

to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ

The work of repairing the breaches of the church will not be accomplished by one person it will take all of the ones found in the five fold ministry

Prepared for this Work Since the Beginning of Time

Paul is addressing the work of Salvation and the reason for your salvation

more than living to die then its off to Heaven...

far from selfish salvation there is a work that you are being called to accomplish

You have crafted in Christ Jesus to accomplish

A responsibility you have been given

Salvation is the start not the end…

you “should”

the mood of the verb is… a strong desire or intention… but leaves it up to the person to decide...

Paul proceeds to explain the condition we were in and how it took those sent by the Spirit

Joining Together as A Whole

You are no found as part of the citizenship of the household of God which means there is work to do

The structure is bound together by the Holy Spirit

Jesus the cornerstone

Apostles and Prophets build a foundation

Only when we work together are we a dwelling place for God

Brought Together As One

The Gifts that Have Been Given Testify of the Unity that will be required

One Lord

One Faith

One Baptism

One God

The graces is given according to Christ and is not of our own

we cannot boast how we are the best APEST then the grace and measure thereof belongs to the Lord

The Body Grows Only When it is Properly Equipped

Defense against

waves of Doctrine

Human cunning, craftiness, deceitfulness, scheming

Speaking the Truth in Love

Each part must work properly if we are to see the church grow...

Today there are many people who are steering clear of church thinking the system is broken… they dont care to be at church any longer…

When we look there are so many churches that have thrown away the apostle, and the prophet they appear big and massive but fail to protect the church from waves of erred doctrine…

Our task is to examine what it is that we have been called into the APEST can be found caring for children… on the worship team… behind the pulpit or some other function but it is our responsibility to fill the office we have been called to… everyone of us.
