Preface
Pastoral and teaching ministries are important to the furtherance of the Kingdom of God and the Church. It is my prayer that the information presented in this work will bring clarity, appreciation, and understanding to the pastoral and the teaching ministry.
Numerous works have been produced which highlight the ministries listed in Ephesians 4. This study is to be used in connection with other publications. Many authors focus on the functions of the pastor and of the teacher. My intent is to bring balance by focusing on the character requirements of those walking in these offices and possessing these anointings.

Introduction
Paul stated In Ephesians 4 that the ministries were placed in the Church for its edification. The ministries are a direct extension of Christ’s ministry within the Body of Christ. James also admonished those who minister to do it with all the grace and ability given to them by God. The Abundant Truth Ministry Study Series is designed to examine the ministries given to the Church. It is our prayer that a greater understanding and appreciation for the ministerial gifts be achieved.
In this publication
The scriptures reveal that God has set ministries and gifts in the Church. The ministries of the apostle and the prophet provided the foundation for the Church. However, their ministries alone could not advance the Church. Thus, God set other ministries within the Church; namely, the pastor and the teacher. These ministries are important for the equipping and maturing of the saints.
In the pages of this study, we will discuss the ministries of the pastor and of the teacher in detail. A proper understanding of these ministries will help individuals recognize and appreciate their functionality in the Church.*****
Lesson 1-For the Perfecting of the Saints
Anyone involved in construction knows the most important part of the building is the foundation. Changes can be made to a building at any time, but the foundation must be solid. Walls, ceilings, and fixtures are exchanged frequently, but the foundation is created to last. God is the ultimate architect. Through His spoken word, He created and laid the foundations of the world. (Genesis 1:1-30).
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the (spoken) word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:3, Parentheses mine)
Throughout history, God laid the foundation for man’s worship of Him. At Sinai, God gave Moses the Law as the foundation for Israelite worship. However, it could do nothing for the conscience of men and God instituted another covenant with a new foundation.
FOR THE NEW COVENANT
God, in His wisdom, did not establish the New Covenant upon laws and principles as He had done under the Law. He decided to found the New Covenant upon a person. Therefore, He sent Christ into the world, not only to give all the opportunity to partake of the New Covenant, but also to be the foundation for it.
For God so loved the
