Gifts Unto Men: Prophets

Summary

The sermon explores the parable of the talents from Matthew 25, emphasizing that the kingdom of heaven is present and experienced now through the church and our walk with Christ. It highlights the gifts Christ gave to the church, including apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, for the perfecting of the saints and the edifying of the body of Christ. The preacher stresses the importance of using the gifts God has given rather than hiding them, and explains the role of prophets both in the Old and New Testaments as messengers pointing to Christ and guiding the church. The message calls believers to actively apply their spiritual gifts within the church community for growth and service.
