n today's Sunday morning sermon, Lead Pastor Dan Harrison brings us a profound message on the importance of addressing conflicts within the church. Continuing the discussion on reaffirming who we are as a church, Pastor Dan references our core values throughout the sermon titled, “Rules of Engagement.”

Drawing from Ephesians 4:17-5:2, Pastor Dan explores how the Apostle Paul instructs believers to no longer live as Gentiles, who are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God. Paul emphasizes the need to put off the old self, corrupted by deceitful desires, and be renewed in the attitude of our minds.

Pastor Dan starts with a striking thought: "Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers, authorities, and powers of this world’s darkness." He explains how sometimes these spiritual battles can lead to friendly fire within the church. Just like in war, there are certain biblical rules of engagement to follow.

Join Pastor Dan this week as he delves into these "Rules of Engagement" and how they apply to the body of Christ. Ask God to open your heart to receive this timely and crucial word today.

In today's Sunday morning sermon, Lead Pastor Dan Harrison brings us a powerful message on the importance of "Body Building" within the church. Over the next few weeks, Pastor Dan will reaffirm who we are as a church, referencing our core values along the way. Today's sermon, titled “Body Building,” is based on Ephesians 4:11-16, where the Apostle Paul explains the roles and purposes of different ministry gifts within the church and their contributions to spiritual maturity and unity.

Paul describes how Christ gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip believers for works of service. This equipping builds up the body of Christ until we all reach unity in faith and knowledge of the Son of God, achieving spiritual maturity and the fullness of Christ.

Pastor Dan begins the sermon with two key questions: Whose job is it to do "ministry"? and Where is Ravenna Assembly of God located? Reflecting on his ministry experience, Pastor Dan emphasizes that when God gives you a vision, you need to move on it. Don’t run from it or pass it off; doing so robs you of the blessing. God has called all of us to do ministry.

Let’s lean in as Pastor Dan shares how we are to build the body of Christ. Ask God to open your heart to receive this word today.
