Pastor Fred Price, Jr. sermon "The Ministry of Helps," he explains the purpose of service and how church administration didn't just evolve as Christianity grew. Although God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, He requires Believers to work together to perform the duties of the Great Commission. To support this premise, Pastor Price, Jr. cites I Corinthians 12:28 which states: "And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administration, varieties of tongues." Imagine a church service without ushers, hostesses and childcare, not to mention audio and television engineers in this advanced technological age? It would be pretty chaotic. Pastors, as ministerial heads, need other Believers to become the hands, feet, legs, arms -- the Body of Christ -- operating in unity, for we are fellow workers according to I Corinthians 3:9. In this summary, "The Ministry of Helps" will show that we are made for a mission.
