Pastor Lowell Nelson teaches a topical study of The Holy Spirit Part 3: The Ministries of the Holy Spirit on 11/5/2006 for our Sunday service.
This section introduces the concept of the Holy Spirit's "operations" for building the church, defining three distinctions: ministries, gifts, and manifestations. It then focuses specifically on the spiritual ministries (also referred to as offices) found in Ephesians 4:11-13. The primary purpose of these ministries is to bring about unity and order within the body of Christ and to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. The five specific ministry offices: apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastor-teachers are defined and explained in detail, emphasizing their roles in serving and building up the church.
