From Unity, To Diversity, To Maturity (TD Davis)
Have you ever had a “How Did I Get Here?” moment in your life where the way things began didn’t always translate into your expectations of what reality became? In Ephesians 4, Paul begins by advocating for unity in the Church, but takes a paradoxical turn by illustrating how practical diversity in the form of 5 APEST gifts (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, Teacher) best express our ability to become one, and inevitably more like Jesus. In this message, T.D. Davis (co-lead pastor) focuses on Ephesians 4:7-13 as a picture of how Jesus unexpectedly becomes the best (re)interpretation of a hopeful vision towards collaborative unity.
