No Spare Parts
We live in a culture absolutely obsessed with purpose. There are entire sections of Barnes & Noble dedicated to helping you find yours. Personality tests that tell you whether you're an INTJ or an Enneagram 4. TED talks with hundreds of millions of views asking the question — why are you here? And people are eating it up, because the hunger is real. Everybody wants to know that their life means something. The church often offers little help in this search. done much better. We've good at telling people what to be saved from. We preach sin, we preach grace, we preach the cross. And praise God for that. But then somebody gets saved, gets baptized, maybe joins a small group and then we kind of just... leave them there. We tell them what they are saved from, but not what they are saved for. This Sunday we're going back into Ephesians 4, and Paul is going to answer that question in a way that I think will genuinely surprise you. Because it turns out the grace that rescued you didn't stop working the moment you trusted Christ. That same grace has been given to you specifically, for a purpose that extends beyond our own salvation. Every single person who has been called to salvation has also been called to something more.
