You might be a church - Part 2 (9 of 21)
Series: Ephesians

Ephesians 4:7-16
OPENING: As many of you know, I am an incurable ease dropper… I'm in counseling and on medication for the disorder. Many times this can get me into trouble because I am also one who likes to get involved in things. Those to habits don't work well together.

PREVIOUSLY: Last week we said that one of the defining marks of a real Church is that it functions as a Gospel Community. This week we will develop that idea further.
You see, I believe that you were born with an innate desire to conn ...
