RELATE TO WITNESSING
?
A good church has not only a very good Pastor but also promotes the priesthood of all believers and the gifts of the
Holy Spirit lived out in ministry-
so the church is known as
the Body vs. a Superstar assembly
Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12 and
Ephesians 4 say it so well
...
THE BODY OF CHRIST is not one member but many and each are gifted differently...as they live out their gifts the Body is built up and they are concerned with the souls of men
THE PROBLEM..."UNDER USED"
I know a very effective ministry that builds vision into men and women who have been
"under used"
by churches. The President of the ministry is the former Pastor of a large church who believes the body of Christ is most often "under used". My experience in full time ministry working with churches of varying size and backgrounds confirms "under used" is unfortunately very common.
2 Timothy 2:2 says it perfectly:
"Take the teachings that you heard me proclaim in the presence of many witnesses, and entrust them to reliable people, who will be able to teach others also."
2 Timothy 2:2
ALSO SO TRUE FOR THE WITNESS BREAKTHROUGH

Isaiah 43:19
