The ministry of benevolence is one of the three ministries of the church. Evangelism and edification are the other two. We will look at benevolence for individual Christians as well as the church’s role in providing love and support for those in need within the guidelines of Scripture.
To say something is edifying means, biblically, being strengthened in the Lord and strengthening others. In this message, we take a closer look at this means of God’s grace that takes us on to spiritual maturity.
The Ministry of the Church is to Glorify God, Build up the Church and Be Benevolent. We will focus today on the ministry of Edification. We will look at its meaning and its biblical methods to discover biblical avenues offered to each member of the Body of Christ, the Church.
When we think about getting involved in the ministries of our church we may need to be informed in the biblical limitations of those ministries. This lesson focuses upon the three areas of ministry: evangelism, edification and benevolence.
This lesson is a continuation of last week’s lesson with an emphasis on the work of the church and the leadership needed to see that evangelism, edification and benevolence are the focus of every member.
Paul expects the leaders of the church to provide members with training in various ministries in the church for the spiritual growth of all. This also includes teaching them so that they can teach others. This lesson will develop these points so that each member may see their value and usefulness in fulfilling the church’s mission. Ephesians 4:11-16

When we become a child of God we are called into His service. There can be no closet Christians or sideline Christians. But what can we do? Not everyone has the same ability, talent or physical potential to be leaders of service in certain areas of church work. This lesson will help us to focus on and narrow down our specific ministry.
