Hope-fully 8 - Being a Community of Hope

Ephesians 4:1-16

The Big Idea: Christian hope makes COMMUNITY possible and grows deeper through community

Let’s get this clear: How many churches are there in Olympia? ONE!

1. We are called to live a life worthy of COMMUNITY

2. Jesus gives the GRACE GIFTS we need to become ONE

3. The POWER of a JESUS COMMUNITY is found in the
CONNECTION of its members

• v16 - as each member does its part, joined and held together by ligaments - grows and builds itself up as each part does its work - each JOINT - the connection of two parts.

• We are, together, the TEMPLE OF GOD.

Ephesians 2:22
Ephesians 3:10-11
