Pastor Jack draws from Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 to survey the spiritual gifts and ministries God has given to the church. He carefully distinguishes between the domata (gifts given by Christ to develop the church—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers) and the charismata (the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed as He wills). Pastor Jack emphasizes that every believer has significance in the body of Christ, and teaches that ministries function in faith, love, and hope, calling the congregation to practical, Spirit-empowered service.
