    This Is Us | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)

    A “stagnant Christian” should be an oxymoron. God's plan for His children is that they be edified, constantly moving forward in faith. But the Christian can't become spiritually mature alone... Notes: Focus verse - Ephesians 4 We don’t stand in our own strength, but we are built up together on the foundation of Christ. Upward – glorify GodInward – edify each otherOutward – reach people with the Gospel Edification happens inside each of us when we submit ourselves to God and allow Him to conform us into the image of His Son, Jesus. We are built up so that He is lifted up.1. Edification Is Jesus’ Blueprint.Ephesians 4:11–12 Isaiah 28:16Therefore thus says the Lord God:“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;Whoever believes will never be shaken.” Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles—it’s up to you to make sure these children are prepared for spiritual battle. Be proactively teaching your kids Biblical truth or they will be led astray. When Jesus is the cornerstone, and when His people are equipped and built up in truth, the church stands strong. Romans 14:19 (ESV)So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. Let us pursue. 2. Edification Produces Maturity.Ephesians 4:13–14 (NKJV) Edification gives us:- discernment- stability- resilience Longevity doesn’t equal maturity. Jesus loved them enough to tell them the truth and call them to repentance. True love doesn’t enable sin; it confronts it. 3. Edification Requires Every Member’s Contribution.Ephesians 4:15–16 (NKJV) It is essential, that we speak the truth in love. 1 Peter 3:15 (ESV)but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, Our goal is to lead people to Christ, to be a light in the world. Speak the truth in love.Use your gifts.Pour into others. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
