Recorded in his letter to the church at Ephesus, Paul said "Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:11-12, NLT).
Jesus said He would make us, "fishers of men". Paul says in essence, "go to church and get equipped". Equipped for what? Equipped to become fishers of men. Christ-follower, next time you come to church, think of Crossroads as the spiritual equivalent of Bass Pro Shops. Here, this might help.
Happy fishing! See you Sunday for two services at Crossroads, 9:00AM and 10:30AM. Come early for coffee and donuts!
