More than a Task
Our work for God’s people is more than our duty, or an expression of our love for Christ, it is also our loving service for the people we have every reason to affectionately cherish as our spiritual family.
Learning to Lead
Policing Your Motives
Being useful in the spiritual lives of God’s people is aided by hard work and generosity, and is thwarted by cravings for wealth and the trappings of worldly success.
Always on Guard
Our service in the church must always prioritize biblical truth, guarding against the selfish ambitions that fracture the church and derail the sanctification of its congregants.
Motivated by the Finish Line
Knowing time is always running out, we must discern and fulfill our God-given stewardship to faithfully invest in the lives of others.
Caring Less about Your Own Comfort
We must evaluate our competing desires to serve God and our own comfort, resolutely deciding to persist in fulfilling the particular calling he has laid on our lives as Christians.
Caring About What Matters Most
Our desire to be useful to the Lord for the spiritual benefit of others must begin with a sincere devotion to the Lord and a commitment to his eternal priorities.
