A word from Jeff Miller
OVD District Superintendent
|
|
|
The test of Abraham’s faith and obedience found in the Old Testament led to the revelation of the title Jehovah Jireh. It means “The Lord provides”. We do not always know how He will provide (Abraham didn’t) but we can consistently expect and anticipate that He will provide (Abraham did).

Observations of APEST [Part II]
|
|
We are going to continue our conversation around the different functions of APEST. If you haven’t read the February article and feel there are pieces that don’t fit, it might be beneficial to read that article. Again, we believe that the list given in Ephesians 4, “A”postolic, “P”rophetic, “E”vangelistic, “S”hepherd, “T”eacher, are functions or perspectives of the one gift of leadership and not titles. These diverse functions are essential in growing the disciple of Jesus into maturity and unity. In the February newsletter, we discuss the “A”postolic function and how it relates to the other functions. In this article, we are going to explore the “P”rophetic function.
