“Head” (22) Head gives orders to members “one who is of supreme or pre-eminent status, in view of authority to order or command” – L-N

Jesus is the Head over All things. Col.3:17 2. Church. (Must be important) 3. Which is His body, 23. (One of many figures for the church) Salvation Worship Organization Work of church Salvation Worship Organization Work of church

I. Paul’s Prayer, Ep.1:15-19 III. Paul’s Points II. Paul’s Praise, Ep.1:20-23

1. Mutual encouragement, Do others see your faith and love? Hb.12 Beware how you treat His members (Ac.9:4). Mk Don’t lose hope, 18 The best is yet to come

3. Don’t be discouraged, Realize the power at your disposal “I don’t see all things under His feet!”  Ps.110:2 1. Submission now is voluntary 2. One day every knee will bow… 3. Victory is certain 1. Submission now is voluntary 2. One day every knee will bow… 3. Victory is certain

4. Jesus rules His church, 22 He He is the Shepherd, Vine, King, Head  Not a pope, synod, council Obey Him! 5. The church belongs to Christ, 23a His His body (23) My My church (Mt.16:18)

6. In Christ = in church, 23 Church is fullness of Christ (synonyms) Whatever is available in Davidson Co. is available in Nashville; if in one, in the other. Whatever is available in Christ is available in His church; no one is saved outside of it. Nashville is coextensive w. Davidson County

Conclusion: If Christ is incomplete w/o His body (church) why do so many assume they can live without it? Every blessing in Christ is located in His church.
