Requirements
- As a supplementary resource, students can obtain the book, Ministry Gifts, by M.E.B. Maher (Amazon, 2017) ISBN: 978-1549525377. The book is available in print and digital formats.
There is a category of gifts in the church, called ministry gifts. The reason that they are called ministry gifts is because those who receive them, are called by God to the ministry, i.e. they are called to serve the church in the ministry of the gospel. God is the one who gives these gifts, and they are appointed by Him. In total, there are ten ministry gifts listed in the scriptures, but there are five main gifts, which are the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher. This course looks at the operation of the five main ministry gifts.
This course is meant for all audiences. No previous theological study is required or expected, for it is meant to give a basic understanding of how each of the ministry gifts operate in the church.
Michael Maher will lecture from the bible, to walk the student through the different ministry gifts, and how each one is meant to operate in the church. Quizzes have been developed to help test comprehension of the video lectures.
This course focuses on explaining how the Lord uses each one of His ministry gifts to edify His church. As a supplementary resource, this course can be taken in tandem with the reading of Michael Maher’s book, Ministry Gifts.
I trust that the material and the dialogue with other students will be encouraging and enlightening for all.
- This is an entry level course for anyone wishing to understand how the Lord uses the ministry gifts to equip the saints.
- This course is not for those who wish to enter into religious debates.
Your Instructor
From childhood, Michael E.B. Maher has always known that the Lord's call was upon his life for the ministry. When he was saved at the age of twenty-two, almost immediately the Lord Jesus began to deal with him about entering the ministry. However, it was only many years later that he committed to the Lord to answer the Lord's call to the ministry. And so, in 2014 Michael Maher Ministries was begun. From the beginning, the mandate given to Michael from the Lord Jesus was to preach the word. And so, this ministry preaches the word of God on every available platform around the world.
