Reading: Ephesians 4:17-5:2
We're getting to the point in Ephesians when Paul shifts from his theological discourse to his ethical instructions, though the two parts are by no means separate. Some of his instructions here are oft-quoted, but we just as often miss the direction he is going with them.

Growing Up
Reading: John 6:24-35; Ephesians 4:1-16
This week we read one of the New Testament texts that lists a few of the classic spiritual gifts. Paul's exhortations to the Ephesians will be the launching point for us to explore the spiritual gifts in depth over the next several weeks (if not more), because Paul makes it clear that the point of the gifts is to grow us to maturity. In other words, not putting these things into action means that we're immature Christians.
