CORRESPONDING EPISODE
Leading Differently Together | Apostolic With Donavan Friesen
PASSAGE
ESV (English Standard Version):
"And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?"
NLT (New Living Translation):
"Here are some of the parts God has appointed for the church: first are apostles, second are prophets, third are teachers, then those who do miracles, those who have the gift of healing, those who can help others, those who have the gift of leadership, those who speak in unknown languages. Are we all apostles? Are we all prophets? Are we all teachers? Do we all have the power to do miracles?"
NIV (New International Version):
"And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?"
WALKING IT OUT
Reflect
Reflect on the diversity of the roles in the church as stated in 1st Corinthians 12:28-29. Examine your personal understanding of the apostolic gift and how it complements the other gifts within the church.

Pray Points
Pray for the discernment and empowerment of individuals with apostolic gifts in your community.
Pray for the church to be receptive to the pioneering work of the apostles and support their ventures.
Pray for your personal growth and understanding of your role within the body of Christ.
