PEOPLE IN MINISTRY
Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function,
so it is with Christ's body.
We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
In His grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.
So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you.
If your gift is serving others, serve them well.
If you are a teacher, teach well.
If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging.
If it is giving, give generously.
If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously.
And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
Don't just pretend to love others.
Really love them.
Hate what is wrong.
Hold tightly to what is good.
Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.
INTRODUCTION
Who is to do the work of ministry?
The church, of course.
Who else?
Many churches, however, seem to think the pastor, the staff, or the deacons ought to do it.
But as the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent.
The Greek-speaking believers complained about the Hebrew-speaking believers, saying that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily distribution of food.
INTRO: Who is to do the work of ministry?
The church, of course.
Who else?
Many churches, however, seem to think the pastor, the staff, or the deacons ought to do it.
But consider the example of the early church ().
The church chose the seven when a ministry need arose.
They did not appoint a Food Distribution Task Force Study Committee.
The members are to do the work (ministry) of the church ().
Pastors are to equip them to do the ministries to which they are called.
Two things we need to understand: 1. Lay people are legitimate ministers.
2. Every ministry is important.
The typical church has about 25 percent of its members involved in ministry.
