The Mystery and Majesty of Spiritual Gifts (Part 2) by Sam Storms (Ephesians 4:11–16)

Have you ever looked at your church leaders and thought, "That's their job, not mine," when it comes to the work of the ministry?

In this second part of his message on Ephesians 4:11–16, Sam Storms unpacks the divine strategy for church growth, showing that the "work of ministry" is actually a biblical command for every single believer. He clarifies that God gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers not to perform all the tasks of the church, but to equip the saints to do the heavy lifting of building up the body.

Yet, he reminds us that the church only functions as God intended when "every working part" is active. This invites us to move from being passive spectators to active participants, using our unique spiritual gifts to ensure the church is no longer "tossed to and fro" by false doctrine, but instead grows into a mature, stable, and loving reflection of Jesus Christ.
