And
He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as
evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the
saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of
Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the
stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.
(Ephesians 4:11–13)
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no
one may boast. (Ephesians 2:8–9), but the Scripture also says:
For
we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which
God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10)
At
Grace Bible Church of Houston, we strive to equip our members for the
work of service, guiding them to abide in Christ and enjoy effective
ministries using their spiritual gifts.
