Pastor Jack teaches on the God-given structure of the church and the ministries Christ has established to build up His body. Drawing from Ephesians 4, he explains how apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers exist not to do all the ministry themselves, but to equip the saints for the work of ministry. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God has no "laymen"—every believer is called to ministry within the body of Christ, and submission to a local assembly is essential for spiritual growth and fruitfulness.

Drawing from Paul's stated purpose of imparting spiritual gifts and establishing the Roman church in ministry, Pastor Jack unpacks how every believer is called to function as a ministering member of the body of Christ, with unique abilities genetically inherited in the spiritual realm through new birth.

by | May 13, 2026

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.
