00:00:10.19\00:00:12.94
God bestows upon all members
of His church in every age
00:00:12.97\00:00:17.25
spiritual gifts which each
member is to employ for the
00:00:17.28\00:00:20.96
common good of the church,
given by the agency of the
00:00:20.99\00:00:24.19
Holy Spirit and
according to the scriptures.
00:00:24.23\00:00:26.30
These gifts include such
ministries as faith, healing,
00:00:26.33\00:00:30.58
prophecy, proclamation,
teaching, administration,
00:00:31.58\00:00:34.73
reconciliation, compassion,
and self sacrificing service,
00:00:34.76\00:00:40.01
and charity.
00:00:40.05\00:00:42.12
Some are called of God
and endowed by the spirit
00:00:42.16\00:00:45.55
for the functions recognized
by the church and pastoral
00:00:45.58\00:00:48.39
evangelistic, apostolic, and
teaching ministries to build up
00:00:48.42\00:00:52.73
the church to spiritual
maturity, and to foster unity
00:00:52.76\00:00:56.39
of the faith and
knowledge of God.
00:00:56.42\00:00:58.16
When members employ
these spiritual gifts as
00:00:58.19\00:01:01.13
faithful stewards
of God's very grace,
00:01:01.16\00:01:03.12
the church is protected
from the destructive influence
00:01:03.15\00:01:06.11
of false doctrine and is
built up in faith and in love.
00:01:06.14\00:01:10.94
God bless you on
this beautiful day!
