"Choosing the Right Suit" - Christian Johns
Ephesians 6:10-20  

In Ephesians lies Paul’s clearest statement about how the church is both the fulfillment of God’s plan for salvation, and his agent for broadcasting that salvation to nations far and wide.  Unfortunately, many modern ideas of what the church is supposed to be and do also range far and wide, not always in a healthy pattern.  In order for a church to communicate to its world God’s intentions for the church, they must first exist as a picture of God’s intention for the church.  And in order for a church to exist as a picture of the intended church, they must first know what that picture looks like, based on the New Testament teaching over and above cultural ideas and personal preferences.  To this end Paul wrote Ephesians.
