What is the role of the Teacher in the 5 Fold Ministry—and why is the Church missing it today?

In this message, we break down the biblical function of the Teacher from Ephesians 4:11–14 and why teaching is essential for spiritual growth, stability, and maturity in the Body of Christ.

A lot of churches today fall into one of two extremes:
They either reject teaching and live off emotion…
Or they become so intellectual that they remove the power of the Holy Spirit.

But Jesus never separated the two.

It’s Spirit AND Truth.

In this teaching, you’ll learn:

• What a biblical Teacher actually is
• Why understanding the Word of God is critical for growth
• How strong teaching brings clarity, alignment, and stability
• The danger of emotion without truth—and truth without the Spirit
• Why believers are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6)
• How the Holy Spirit works as the ultimate Teacher

If you’ve ever felt confused, stuck, or like you’re not growing spiritually—this message will bring clarity and direction.

In Week 2 of our Midweek series Building a 5-Fold Ministry, we dive deep into Ephesians 4:7–15 and confront one of the biggest debates in the Church today:

Have the gifts of the Spirit and the five-fold ministry ceased… or are they still active?

This message tackles the belief that apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers were only for the early church—and brings clarity straight from Scripture.

You’ll discover:

• Why the five-fold ministry is still God’s plan today
• The truth about 1 Corinthians 13 and what “the perfect” really means
• Why God never stopped speaking, moving, or equipping His Church
• The difference between titles vs. function in ministry
• How each role—apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher—builds and strengthens the Body of Christ
• Why the Church must move from spectators to ministers
• How spiritual maturity, protection, and power are tied to a fully functioning five-fold ministry

This isn’t just teaching—it’s a call to alignment.

God didn’t design the Church to be passive.
He designed it to be equipped, activated, and operating in power.

If you’ve ever questioned:

• Are miracles still for today?
• Does God still speak?
• Do apostles and prophets still exist?

This message will challenge, equip, and anchor you in truth.

Scriptures Covered:
Ephesians 4:7–15
1 Corinthians 13:8–12
Acts 1:8
Hebrews 10:25

Key Takeaway:
The five-fold ministry was never about building a book—it was about building a body

In this message from 1 Kings 18, Pastor Aaron Pino teaches on Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel and the powerful question Elijah asked Israel: “How long will you limp between two different opinions?”

Israel had begun living in spiritual mixture, trusting God for salvation while relying on other things for provision. But Elijah reveals a powerful truth: our God is the God who speaks, the God who answers, and the God who pays attention.

While the prophets of Baal cried out with no response, Elijah rebuilt the altar of the Lord and the fire of God fell from heaven.

This message will challenge you to confront the false altars in your life and go all in on God.

Why does God often respond when a sacrifice is placed on the altar?

Throughout Scripture a powerful pattern appears. Whenever an altar was built and a sacrifice was offered, heaven responded.

In this message Pastor Aaron Pino reveals how the cross of Jesus Christ was the ultimate altar and how His sacrifice released the power of God for humanity.

Drawing from Exodus 20:24, Ephesians 5:2, and Isaiah 53, this teaching explains how the cross provides three life-changing realities for every believer: forgiveness of sin, peace for the soul, and healing for the body.

You will discover:

• Why the cross functions as the ultimate altar
• The biblical pattern of sacrifice that releases God’s power
• How Jesus’ sacrifice brings forgiveness, peace, and healing
• Why the power of the cross still changes lives today

If you want to understand the deeper meaning of the cross and how it affects your life today, this message will strengthen your faith and reveal the power that was released through the sacrifice of Jesus.

Have you ever survived a storm… but didn’t know how to move forward afterward?

In this opening message of the Altars and Fires series, Pastor Aaron Pino teaches from Genesis 8 and the moment Noah stepped into a new world after the flood. The rain had stopped. The ark had rested. But life had not yet begun again.

What do you do when you’ve been faithful, endured adversity, and obeyed God… yet heaven feels quiet?

This message explores the powerful spiritual tension between survival and renewal and reveals how Noah’s first response after deliverance became a pattern for every believer walking through transition.

You’ll discover:

• Why God’s silence does not mean God’s absence
• What it means when Scripture says “God remembered Noah”
• How worship begins long before expression through preparation of the heart
• The importance of trusting God’s timing instead of forcing your next season
• Why Noah built an altar before building a home
• The biblical meaning of altars as remembrance, worship, and covenant renewal
• How gratitude for what God has done unlocks faith for what He will do next

If you feel stuck between what you survived and what God is about to begin, this message will help you recognize the wind of God already moving in your life.

You may be sealed for a season, but heaven is still working on the outside.

What stage are you in right now?
