"Equipped to Build the Body"

Oct 12, 2025  •  Rev. Charlie Holt

In this sermon from Ephesians 4 and Luke 17:11–19, Rev. Charlie Holt calls us to embrace our role in the Spirit-filled life as people equipped by God for ministry. Drawing from Paul’s vision for the church and Jesus’ healing of the ten lepers, he shows how we are called, equipped, and edified to build one another up into maturity in Christ. Rev. Holt reminds us that every believer has a gift and a purpose—that when each part does its work, the church becomes a living witness of unity, love, and grace in a divided world.


Scripture References: Ephesians 4:1–16; Luke 17:11–19


Key Themes: Spiritual Gifts, Unity, Maturity in Christ, Service, The Body of Christ
