  • The Growth of the Body (Ephesians 4:16) – Study 107

    The Growth of the Body (Ephesians 4:16) – Study 107
    2025/04/22

    There is a beautiful paradox with the body of Christ—Jesus supplies everything we need for life and godliness, yet we as the body are to build each other up in love, causing the growth of the body.

    Paul reminds us in Ephesians 4.15–16 that Jesus is the head of the Church, but he exhorts the body to be abundantly supplied by Christ to function, grow, and mature as the body is called to be.

    In this study, Nathan walks through the passage and encourages us to think and live as a community of believers, rather than as individuals that go to church together.

  • The Motives and Manner of the Message (Ephesians 4:15) – Study 106

    The Motives and Manner of the Message (Ephesians 4:15) – Study 106
    2025/04/15

    Truth should mark our lives and lips as Christians. We are called to know the truth, be grounded upon the truth, and proclaim the truth. Yet, truth without love is not true truth, just as love without truth is not true love.

    In Ephesians 4:15, Paul declares that truth is to find its permanent residence in love—and as Christians, our lives and lips must have an accuracy of both truth and love. In short, the motives and manner is just as important as the message.

  • Back and Forth, Here and There (Ephesians 4:14–15) – Study 105

    Back and Forth, Here and There (Ephesians 4:14–15) – Study 105
    2025/04/08

    In contrast to the maturity and growth we as Christians are to have in Christ Jesus, Paul warns believers that they should not be immature, unstable, and gullible.

    In this message from Ephesians 4:14–15, Nathan Johnson talks about how easy it is to be tossed back and forth while being blown here and there, how such a life is not fitting for Christians, and the solution so that we never have to.

  • One Goal and Focus (Ephesians 4:13) – Study 104

    One Goal and Focus (Ephesians 4:13) – Study 104
    2025/04/01

    There is one goal and focus for the Church—Jesus Christ Himself!

    In Ephesians 4:13, Paul describes the goal in three ways, but the focus is the same.

    In this study, Nathan Johnson dives into the passage and talks about Paul’s heart and desire for the body of Christ and how we as the Church are to be unified in the faith and grow in the full knowledge of Jesus, mature unto the perfect man, and be measured according to the stature of the fullness of Christ.

  • The Perfect man (Ephesians 4:13) – Study 103

    The Perfect man (Ephesians 4:13) – Study 103
    2025/03/25

    Scripture makes a clear and bold statement: Jesus is the perfect man … and everything is measured against the standard of Christ.

    This is a profound reality for the Church (the body of Christ)—for it means that Jesus and His Word is the standard for growth and maturity as the Church. We must be measured against Him.

    In this study of Ephesians 4:13, we investigate the primary goal for the body of Christ and discover the only way it is possible to live such an impossible life.

  • Waiters at the Table (Ephesians 4:12) – Study 102

    Waiters at the Table (Ephesians 4:12) – Study 102
    2025/03/21

    Paul reminds us in Ephesians 4:12–13 that God’s desire for the Church is to grow up and be built into a body that is mature and measured by the stature of Christ. And this “building up the body” process happens, according to Paul, when every believer is equipped and in active ministry.

    In this message, Nathan examines Ephesians 4:12 and what it means for every Christian to be a “waiter at the table” for the work of Christ and His Kingdom.

  • A Gift to the Church (Ephesians 4:11) – Study 101

    A Gift to the Church (Ephesians 4:11) – Study 101
    2025/03/14

    Jesus has given a gift to His body—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. But what are they and how do they function today?

    In this study from Ephesians 4:11, Nathan explores these five areas, how they might be different today, and explains why God gave them to the Church. This message is bound to step on some toes, but will ultimately point all of us to the Giver of the gift, Christ Jesus.

  • The Humility and Exaltation of Christ (Ephesians 4:8-10) – Study 100

    The Humility and Exaltation of Christ (Ephesians 4:8-10) – Study 100
    2025/03/07

    Christ has ascended!

    While Christians give a lot of focus to the death and resurrection of Christ, we nod our heads at His ascension. Yet, contained in the ascension of Jesus is His exaltation, coronation, and a revelation of His majestic supremacy!

    Join Nathan Johnson in this study of Ephesians 4:8–10 as we examine Paul’s parenthetical statement about the majesty and preeminence of Christ Jesus in the context of Him giving gifts to the Church. He has ascended!
