Pastor David Garver - September 6, 2026

God Ordained Members within the Church

Sunday School

1 Corinthians 12:18-31 emphasizes that God assigns roles within the Church, highlighting His sovereignty in deciding who fulfills each position and when those roles may change. The text points to the detrimental impact of "Fleshly Rule" within churches, where leaders exert control in a domineering manner, leading to divisions and destruction in congregations. This includes scenarios where preachers rule with an "iron fist," prioritizing their authority over collaborative leadership, as well as instances where church members dictate the actions of their pastors. Additionally, the text reflects on the apostolic era, asserting that while there were only twelve apostles originally, their role is no longer necessary with the existence of the King James Bible as a guiding text for faith and practice.
