Dr. J. Vernon McGee, Th.D.
Different Gifts
Transcript: Paul calls himself “an apostle of Jesus Christ” and always “by the will of God.” And the important thing today: Are you in the will of God when you’re serving Christ? Are you sure you’re in the proper place? Are you sure you’re doing the proper thing? I believe every believer is called to function in the body of believers. We’ve got too many people active, doing something they’re not supposed to be doing. They just think, “I’ve got to get busy doing what brother so-and-so is doing.” All of us have different gifts, and I think we’re going to function a little differently, but we ought to be functioning. And when you know you’re in the will of God, there’ll be a deep satisfaction.

About Church of the Open Door
Built in 1914, the 4000-seat Church of the Open Door was conceived by R. A. Torrey who had come to Los Angeles to start a Bible institute (now known as Biola University) similar to Moody Bible Institute. Other pastors have included Louis T. Talbot (1932–1948) and J. Vernon McGee (1949–1970). The church is strictly non-denominational, though Evangelical. Its mission was to reach the lost of Los Angeles, which was reflected in the name ‘Church of the Open Door’ based on two passages of Scripture:
“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” - Jesus Christ, John 10:9 KJV
“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” - Jesus Christ, Revelation 3:8 KJV
