Living Waters Church - Elk River, MN

We've been talking about the gifts Jesus gave to equip the church. 

This week, we celebrate how Jesus, the master builder, is building us into a house of living stones!

In our series on the 5-fold ministry gifts, we're looking at the unique assignment of the teacher to make the confusing clear and help the body move from spiritual infancy to maturity. 

It's easy to accumulate knowledge, but a true teacher is anointed to turn that knowledge into a changed life. 

Pastor Bob encourages us to live a life that carries the essence of Christ. 

We are His ambassadors to the world that needs His forgiveness and righteousness!

In this week of Equipping the Saints, we focus on the interconnected roles of the Pastor and the Teacher, and discover how these gifts work together to guard against false doctrine, heal spiritual wounds, nurture the growth of the church, and ground our community in faith. 

The church needs evangelists to keep its mission alive and outward-focused. The Biblical evangelist is given to equip you to share your faith. 

Discover how this unique gift breaks down walls, gathers the lost, and stirs up a passion for the Gospel inside & outside the church!

The authority of the Kingdom flows through God ordained governments. True authority from Christ will always serve and not dominate. 

We explore what that looks like and the principles in leadership that are a blessing and bring growth in the body of Christ.

Pastor Bob reminds us of our privilege and responsibility to be proclaimers of the truth. 

We continue to look at the apostolic gifting and the role it has in providing foundation, structure, and culture for the church.

We continue to explore the 5-fold leadership gifts that Christ has given the church, meant to equip, edify, mature, and unite the body of Christ. 

We look at the foundation of apostles and prophets and how we relate to them today.
