Getting It All Together (Ephesians 1:3-14)
Scripture References: Ephesians 1:3-14
A message from the series "Sunday Service." In keeping with IBC’s October theme of
service, I am Calling Out the Called—those whom God is calling to service, like He called
Moses, to speak His message to others and fulfill His plans and purposes.
The phrase “Calling Out the Called” is not new. It was coined over 100 years ago, in
October 1919, when Baptist churches across the southern part of the United States “united in
inviting congregants to respond to God’s call to be ministers and saw over 10,000 people
surrender their lives to Christian service.”1
In principle, why should it be any different today?

CloseIn our lesson today I want to bring some encouragement from the story of the Apostle Paul to his friends at Ephesus. As Brother Keith “Called Out the Called” two weeks ago (using the calling of Moses as his text), I want to piggy-back on that to emphasize that we are ALL called (and GIFTED) to do something! We are all ministers together in some capacity. Each one of us has some gift that Christ has given us for the benefit of each other! Together! Paul emphasizes that together the believers all became one in Christ, and as the body of Christ they were living in the story of God.
