Today, “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is sung in churches around the world and is a hymn you likely know well.

God’s plan for the Church is that His people would grow to resemble the Lord Jesus, and He has given gifts to the Church to move us toward unity and maturity. Alistair Begg explains that every believer in Christ has undergone a radical transformation from death to life.

O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou forever near me,
My Master and my Friend;
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my guide.

If the Bible is the rudder that guides us through the sea of life, whose hand helps to steer it, especially with regard to the local church? Ephesians 4:12-13 addresses the role of the pastor-teacher as given by Christ for the equipping of the saints. Alistair Begg discusses the ministry and the works of service that flow from it, as well as the unity maintained and attained among believers. When our lives are brought under the teaching of the Word, we can effectively do the work God has set before us, individually and as a church.
