Not just a church, but The Church. Colossians and Ephesians were sister letters, Ephesians grander in tone and meant to be sent around to other churches as well.
As we are all followers if The One, we should all be working in unity. As humans, of course that does not come "naturally", so we have to fight for unity. And we should fight for that unity. We are very self-centric in this society, in this world, do it is very easy to forget that.
We are all ministers. Or, we SHOULD all think of ourselves as ministers. Each believer has been given a gift, but they should all work toward the goal of ministering to the world.
Walk and Talk:
Be imitators of God. Don't be like the unwise. Act like a believer in all things. Don't be that guy with the fish sticker who is driving like a jerk. WWJD? Bear with one another in love.
Speak the truth in love, so that the body builds itself up. Love = Truth. Our society doesn't even believe in the existence of truth anymore. Us, not "the pastor" should do/fix/help things/each other. You don't have to like the people in The Church, you just have to LOVE them.
