This week Dave revisits Paul's words from Ephesians 4. This time focusing on Paul's call to give up our lives so Christ can give them away. This also leads to introducing our sermon series for this gathered season: Embracing Ministry & Maturity with APEST. The APEST is an acronym that refers to Paul's mention of the apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, shepherding, and teaching graces within the leadership structure of the Church. We will explore each of these functions over the next two months!
