August 9, 2026 - A Body Working Properly - Dr. David Gantenbein

Pastor David explores Ephesians 4:11-16 to reveal God's strategic design for a healthy, growing church. He shares the "big idea" that Jesus has given His church exactly what it needs to become exactly what He intends, a transformation that only occurs as every person does their part. Moving away from a "spectator" model of ministry, David explains that leaders are called to equip the congregation for service, emphasizing that every member—from the most visible to the "unseen" stabilizer muscles—is crucial for the body to function properly and reach spiritual maturity. Listeners are invited to use the church's four-stage spiritual pathway (exploring, committing, growing, and discipling) as a map to identify their specific next step in becoming more like Christ.
