Would you turn with me to Genesis 1 and Acts 1?

Would you turn to those two places?

Genesis 1 and the book of Acts chapter 1 and if you didn't bring a Bible with you,

would you hold up your hand, use one of ours, turn to Genesis 1, get your Bible out, focus,

get what the Lord would have you to receive during this service tonight.

The Lord is always ministering to us, the necessary equipment for us to come up to the next level.

And in fact, that's why he gave gifts to men.

Do you remember that? Let me read that till you. Don't turn there. But Ephesians

4, it says, when he ascended up on high, he gave gifts

to men. And he gave apostles and prophets and evangelists and pastors and teachers and he gave

them for the perfecting of the saints are you a saint yeah either a saint or uh not saved

if you're born again you're called a saint are not saved.

If you're born again, you're called a saint.

Do you need some perfecting?

Some completion.

Then God gave you and me gifts in the form of ministers.

Gifts.

You know, Phyllis and I are gifts to you.

We are.

And everybody that's joined with us around the world.

We're gifts to you. And everybody else's church and ministries, those ministers, those that are really

called.
