In this message we look at how Paul refutes all the man-made attempts to create hierarchies, and exclusions inside the church. The invitation God gives is an invitation into grace and connectedness to the body.

In this message we see what Paul is struggling and toiling for in his ministry to the church. His greatest desire for them is that they would become mature, perfect...transformed.
