five-fold ministry

Pastor Gray looks at Ephesians 4. 

God gave the five-fold ministry to the church for a reason. Listen in to learn what the five-fold ministry is and what it's purpose is.

Do you believe in the Five Fold Ministry? Many Christians believe this concept to be a hierarchy of the five leadership positions that are essential for the health and growth of every Christian church in the world. However, believing that these handful of verses are to be used as the standard for every church until the end of time is not a good idea. Learn how these verses have been misunderstood and why I reject the idea that there are only five main gifts in the church today.
 

In this episode, we cover:

What is the 5 Fold Ministry? Why Paul’s list should be viewed as chronological, not a hierarchy Paul’s two other lists: the 8 Fold Ministry & the 7 Fold Ministry Practicing the 58 One-Another’s in love.

In Ephesians 4:11, the apostle Paul lists five ministerial offices: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Most modern churches and Christian organizations recognize pastors, teachers, and even evangelists, but are hesitant to use the labels apostle and prophet. Are these two offices no longer relevant to the operation of the church?

In this episode, Dr. David K. Bernard examines each office in the five-fold ministry and explains how these roles function in the modern Apostolic church.

We decided to release some really critical bonus episodes on a hot button issue today which is the Breonna Taylor case. It is still within our series on Race and Western Christianity, but since it wasn’t in chronological order, we are releasing 3 episodes on the case as a bonus episode. We did this because we were sick and tired of alternative facts on both the liberal and the conservative side. Therefore we decided to break everything down from start-to-finish, looking at all the evidence. In the end, we determine who’s guilty, who should be held accountable, and why! And trust us it doesn’t end like how you think it will. We put a great deal of effort into gathering this information for you, so we really hope you enjoy it and if you find it worthy, we ask that you share it and help spread the truth. Let's kill the false narratives that are currently swarming us and set a new standard for the information we receive. Stay tuned.
