Pastor Jack teaches from 1 Corinthians 12 on the ministry of the body of Christ, emphasizing that every member has a God-given ministry. He explains how the entire Godhead cooperates in equipping believers: the Father gives grace and faith for ministry, Jesus gives leadership gifts to develop the body, and the Holy Spirit gives gifts to empower each person's calling. Pastor Jack warns against the error of the Nicolaitans—creating a hierarchy that divides clergy from laity—and challenges believers to discover and exercise their individual ministries within the local church.
