Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians 4 to teach on the structure and development of New Testament ministries, with particular focus on the roles of elders, deacons, and pastor-teachers. Recorded at a Men's Ministries Breakfast in 1974, he announces a significant transition in the church's ministry approach, unveiling a new plan for Elder's Discipleship Seminars designed to raise up mature men for ministry. Pastor Jack emphasizes that every believer is called to be a minister? ?not a "layman"? ?and explains how God develops saints through the five-fold ministry gifts to build up the body of Christ.

In this message, Pastor Jack explores Acts 6:1-7, where the early church faced its first internal problem? ?the neglect of Grecian widows in daily ministry. Pastor Jack teaches that having problems doesn't mean you're unspiritual; rather, it's how you handle them that matters. He shows how the apostles responded by establishing God-ordained leadership and raising up deacons, demonstrating that growing churches require growing people who learn to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Jack teaches from Acts 4 and 5 about the tension between church growth and spiritual integrity. He explores how the Holy Spirit's demand for purity? ?as seen in the sobering account of Ananias and Sapphira? ?could have stopped the early church's explosive growth, yet instead produced a deeper work of grace. Pastor Jack challenges believers to surrender possessions, embrace radical generosity, and allow the Holy Spirit to work a thoroughgoing transformation in their hearts.

Pastor Jack draws from the creation account and the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to explore God's desire to restore His image in men and resist the world's pressure to conform them to its mold. Speaking at the January 1974 men's retreat, he challenges scores of men to prepare themselves to become elders in the body of Christ, addressing patterns from the past, job, marriage, home, and schedule that need transformation. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true ministry flows not from what we do, but from who we are becoming as the Holy Spirit shapes Christ's image in us.

Pastor Jack continues his in-depth teaching on the benefits of speaking in tongues, focusing primarily on how the spiritual language edifies believers and reveals mysteries. He explains how praying in the Spirit builds up the believer like a river brings life to barren land, strengthens the inner person like a tree rooted by water and a building grounded on solid foundation, and flushes out deep-seated wounds and hidden memories from the past, bringing profound healing and deliverance through the Holy Spirit's therapeutic work.
