    The Office Of The Prophet

    Contributed by Ed Warfield on Feb 29, 2008
     | 5,650 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.

    The Office of the Prophet Intro.: Every month hundreds of pastors resign their churches and leave the ministry. 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

Evangelists declare the good news to the lost Pastors shepherd, lead, protect and feed the sheep Teachers instruct in truth, revealing instruction, guidance, enlightenment, ...read more

    Pastors are under attack today as never before. Many are overworked, underpaid, stressed-out & crumbling under the pressure of unrealistic expectations & constant crisis. Satan wants to destroy the church & he makes pastors special targets of his attack.

    The Office of the Pastor Intro.: Pastors are under attack today as never before.

    God has set teachers in the body of Christ to purge spiritual ignorance and to ground believers in the Word. Intellectuals often make simple truths difficult to understand. Teachers make even difficult or complex issues understandable.

    The Office of the Teacher Intro.: Educators tell us that a 3rd grade reading level is the benchmark educational level for success in our society. This means that anyone with a 3rd grade education can function adequately in life. They should be able to deal with the bank, the IRS, the government, ...read more

    What type of man makes a good elder/shepherd? This sermon begins to take a look at the Biblical teaching of Titus 1.

    He was not an oil-on-canvas, not a die-cast martyr, a flannel graph figure, or a religious notion. He was man. He was God. And he still is, this Lamb of God. God was pleased to focus all his Love, and all his Truth into this caller and leader of fishemen, and tax collectors and ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,093 views

    A properly functioning eldership provides plurality in leadership, unity of purpose and a system of checks & balances. Biblical eldership is kingdom government & ultimately it’s about understanding & becoming the person God wants each of us to be.

    Biblical Eldership: The Government of God Intro.: It’s not always easy to be objective about the structure and government of the New Testament Church. We are influenced by the teaching we’ve had. So it’s often difficult to approach the subject with an open mind. But, we need to seriously examine ...read more

    A sermon on vision for a new year. This was written almost 10 years ago. Some of the illustrations may need to be update.

    The passage that I am using for a text is one that, when you hear it, will sound familiar to you. It is like Psalm 23, John 3 or 1 Corinthians 13 ... we wonder what more can be said about it. It is a passage that, if you are not familiar with Scripture, you will assume you read it in a magazine, or ...read more
