Gifted: That's The Pastor's Job

The New Testament paints a picture of the church that may look very different from your picture of the church. Many of us see our pastors as “religious professionals” who do the work of the ministry for us. They preach, lead, and do works of service for the community. But the New Testament shows us a different image: an image of every believer doing the work of the ministry, partnering together by using their different gifts in order to “build up” the church in love.
