Jesus' Grace Gifts to the Church | Pastor Chris Phillips | October 19, 2025

In this message by Pastor Chris Phillips, we explore Ephesians 4 and the importance of finding our identity in Christ. The teaching discusses the unique culture of Ephesus, how the early church navigated identity in a secular world, and how those lessons apply today. We break down the five-fold ministry—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—emphasizing that God’s grace, not human ambition, appoints leaders. Learn why character is essential in leadership, how spiritual gifts are distributed, and the difference between unity and true biblical oneness. Discover practical truths about healthy church life, recognizing authentic ministry, honoring leaders, and building a church that impacts far beyond its walls.
