Description

Episode Description:
In this episode we walk through Ephesians 4:7-16 that reminds us and proclaims that Jesus is Victor and has full authority to give gifts. He has given gifts to men to lead, equip and build up the church the Church.  What do we do with passages that are hard to understand and leave us with questions?


Take Action:
-Look up the spiritual gifts listed elsewhere (1 Cor. 12, Romans 12)
-Ask yourself: Am I using my gift to benefit my local church?  Am I saying “yes” whenever I can while staying balanced with “no” when necessary?
-Read Ephesians 4:17-24 for next week! 

Study tools/tips and resources    

• Cross reference passages that bring up questions.  Let scripture interpret scripture!
• Try paraphrasing a passage after you’ve studied it.  Think of it as though you are trying to explain what the passage is saying in your own words to a brand new believer.  This is a great way to gauge your understanding of a passage.
• Read the full context of quoted references.  For example, Psalm 68:18 is quoted in this passage.  Read other verses in Psalm 68 to get a better view of the quoted reference.
