Date Sermon was Delivered: 24 May, 2026
Over many centuries, the clergy-laity divide has resulted in the robbing of the majority of the brothers and sisters of Christ in the local assembly of their God-intended fruitfulness in service of the Lord, and of one another. The church at large has been stymied in her effectiveness thereby, notwithstanding the sovereign working of the Spirit of God in the midst, steadily bringing to pass His eternal purpose in Christ. We consider the simplicity of structure of the church oversight and function by way of becoming informed as to the true apostolic teaching concerning this matter.
