WELCOME TO WORSHIP
Theme: MEANINGFUL MINISTRY
Fear Not, For The Lord Is With You
Shortly before he ascended, Jesus told his followers they were to engage in meaningful ministry-to work their way through the world sharing the good news of salvation. Our loving Lord knew that was a big and often intimidating task. So, his next words were a promise. “Surely I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20). God’s people still need to hear that promise.
For several weeks, we have been discussing the reality that the Lord of the Church has called all believers to meaningful ministry. Ministry will come with challenges. It can cause fears to arise: the fear of rejection, the fear of inadequacy, the fear of persecution. So, listen again to your Savior. “I am with you always.” We conclude our series on meaningful ministry empowered by that gracious promise.
