Be humble and gentle...
Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace. We are all one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been called to the same glorious future. There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and there is only one God and Father, who is over us all and in us all and living through us all. However, he has given each one of us a special gift according to the generosity of Christ. That is why the Scriptures say, "When he ascended to the heights, he led a crowd of captives and gave gifts to his people."
Notice that it says "he ascended." This means that Christ first came down to the lowly world in which we live. The same one who came down is the one who ascended higher than all the heavens, so that his rule might fill the entire universe. He is the one who gave these gifts to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ.
Then we will no longer be like children, forever changing our minds about what we believe because someone has told us something different or because someone has cleverly lied to us and made the lie sound like the truth. Instead, we will hold to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

 mmanuel Baptist Church is one of the most prestigious and
influential churches in Colorado Springs. Emmanuel's vision
encompasses a progressive and wide-ranging doctrine, stressing

Under the leadership of the church's
Senior Pastor, The Reverend Cleveland A. Thompson, Emmanuel has
evolved into the model of progressive thinking within the
traditional African American Baptist church.
In addition to a professional-grade music program, Emmanuel supports an
aggressive array
of growth and support ministries, including a proactive AIDS
ministry, Habitat For Humanity, Share Colorado, Prison Fellowship
and other outreach ministries. Forging ahead into this new
