Ministry is the faithful service of God’s people to bring glory to God, to build up the church, and to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This Sunday we looked at ministry from different perspectives, each an area of service suited to the gifting and opportunities God has afforded all followers of Jesus. As one theologian said, “Ministry is like a birthday party, but instead of everybody bringing a gift for one person, everyone brings a gift for all to share.” Today we hear about and are encouraged to be involved in ministry through simple tasks, financial giving, and preaching the gospel.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
