Introduction
16th century: 'priesthood of all believers'.

The Ascended Jesus (Psalm 68:18)
God has given both people gifts and ministry gifts to the church whose purpose is: to equip (heal) the saints for ministry, to prepare God's people for service
1. To put in order, restore, restore to a former condition Mt. 4:21 - mending their nets; Gal. 6:1 - restore someone (Secular - to refit a ship for use.) -> Healing Brokeness
2. Complete, make complete Heb. 13:21 - equip you with everything good I Pet. 5:10 - restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. Equip and Establish -> Discipleship |
