When a Church is FOAC verse 13

• Unity through Christ
• Knowledge of Christ
• Living Like Christ

When a Church in not FOAC verse 14

• Immaturity (childish)(*combatted by unity through Christ)
• Instability (*combatted by living like Christ)
• Gullibility (*combatted by knowledge of Christ)

How a Church is FOAC

• Surrender Fully to Christ (v. 10)
• Serve Graciously (v. 7, 11)
• Think Theologically (v. 14)
• Communicate Lovingly (v. 15)

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, (‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭15‬ ESV)

Truth - love = Brutality Love - truth = Heresy Love + truth = Unity and community
