Ephesians: A Pastor's Response To "An Urgent Message"

Ephesians 4:11–12 – Prophecy is one of several gifts given by God for the edification of the body. It is the prophet’s role to warn. It is the role of the pastor to address the issues that arise following a prophetic warning. They should let their flock know that it is not a good time to be on the fence — living in a way that opens your life to the devourer. Don’t be found partying in the house of an Egyptian, but find refuge in the house with blood on the doorpost. A pastor should urge his congregation to call to those outside the fence. Finally, the pastor is to encourage his people that if the blood of Christ is applied to their life then they cannot receive the wrath of God.
