The Vine Church
Everyone Gets to play is one of our core values as a church. Ephesians 4 shows us that God designed the church, to be a place where everyone can bring their gifts and talents to faithfully build up the body of Christ. It isn’t about the best, or the most talented, but instead about an invitation that everyone is invited into. Everyone gets to play means all of us, offering what we have, and working together to be the body of Christ.
Ephesians 4: 1-7; 11-16
God designed the church to function best when we are all working
together, and everyone is playing on the same team.
EVERYONE gets to play!
Ephesians 4:1-6 ESV
Ephesians 4:11-14 ESV
The pastor is the EQUIPPER, and every member of the church is a
MINISTER.
When we use our gifts, our talent, or our just plain stick-to-it-ness for the
building up of the church, God uses this to produce something good and holy in us.
Ephesians 4:15-16 ESV
The church is you and I working together to be the body of Christ.
Are you part of the team?
Are you new to the team, trying to figure your place
OR
Sitting on sidelines, in bleachers watching the team?
Have you been playing on the team for a long time and you’re tired
OR
rebounding from an injury, trying to get healthy again?
You confidently know your role, and you are faithfully playing on the team.
