Jeremy Utley - The Secret of Building the Church
Summary
The church is built by every individual member working according to their God-given gifts, not just by designated leaders. Each believer has a responsibility to contribute to the body's growth, which requires an eager desire to serve and speak. The secret to effective contribution, particularly prophecy, is cultivating a life of deep listening to the Lord, moving beyond mere ritualistic Bible reading.
