Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

     The apostle closes the chapter with a doxology. It is proper to conclude our prayers with praises. Our blessed Saviour has taught us to do so. Take notice how he describes God, and how he ascribes glory to him. He describes him as a God that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. There is an inexhaustible fulness of grace and mercy in God, which the prayers of all the saints can never draw dry. Whatever we may ask, or think to ask, still God is still able to do more, abundantly more, exceedingly abundantly more. Open thy mouth ever so wide, still he hath wherewithal to fill it. Note, In our applications to God we should encourage our faith by a consideration of his all-sufficiency and almighty power. According to the power which worketh in us. As if he had said, We have already had a proof of this power of God, in what he hath wrought in us and done for us, having quickened us by his grace, and converted us to himself. The power that still worketh for the saints is according to that power that hath wrought in them. Wherever God gives of his fulness he gives to experience his power.

Christ Fellowship had the Sermon Series “Biblical Church Leadership”

     In the month of November, we will take a break from studying Mark to consider the qualifications for church elders and deacons. This is a season of great significance for us as a young church. We need to consider carefully the kind of men God wants to lead His church. The congregation will have an opportunity in December to nominate men for those offices. 

The November series followed this schedule:

November 5 – “Elect Christians”

November 12 – “Elect Men”

November 19 – “Elect Servants”

November 26 – “Elect Shepherds”

     We need to pray. God knows the hearts of all men (Acts 1:24). Our task is to look for men who are already doing the work. We only want to recognize and affirm the call of God that has already been placed on these men. We are excited because one of the candidates is a Latino Brother!

Please pray for us, we need the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ to accomplish what God call us to do, like apostle Paul asked to the Philippians

for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Philippians 1:19-21
