“TO A PERFECT MAN”

Text: Ephesians 4
15 March 2026

GOD’S PROVISION

God’s provision is not just in material benefits. His provision is also to be found in the spiritual realm. 

11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 

13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 

14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting.     Ephesians 4:11-14
