Pastor Jack continues his series “Will the Real Church Please Stand Up?” by teaching on how to receive Christ’s gifts of ministry to the church. Drawing from Ephesians 4, he explains that God has given apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastor-teachers not as substitutes or superiors, but as examples, teachers, and leaders to equip all believers for ministry. Pastor Jack challenges the congregation to understand that receiving these ministries with proper understanding and submission is essential for revival and for the body to function as God intended.
