Talking Points:
- First, God gave the pastors Ephesians 4:11

Discussion:
- Initial reactions to this topic? What jumped out at you?

- Read Ephesians 4:11-13. Why do you think many Christians think verse 13 makes more sense before verse 12? Have you ever thought that way?
- Is there a step you need to take based on today’s topic?
