    The Office Of The Prophet

    Contributed by Ed Warfield on Feb 29, 2008
     | 5,605 views

    The five-fold ministry is important to the Church fulfilling her end-time destiny. The prophet serves to declare that Jesus is the source of all gifts, including the miracle of new life itself.

There are many reasons for this but I believe the most significant is “unreasonable expectations”. In most churches, the pastor is expected to function in every role- prophet, priest & ...read more

    Simon Peter and Andrew, James and John (the sons of Zebedee), and the other James and Thaddeus. Why choose sets of brothers? What's with the FAMILY thing? Wouldn't there have been A CONFLICT OF INTEREST? Not when Jesus is leading.
