Pastor Jake asked me to lead this breakout session, focusing on the ministry.
What do you think of when you hear the word ministry?
People often see ministry from the outside looking in.
They hear a message, they see a pastor/missionary/evangelist.
They participate in ministry.
Instead of looking from the outside in, I want to spend the next two days looking at ministry from the inside out.
The Apostle Paul told the Church in Rome that the call of God is irrevocable, meaning, the call of God can never be withdrawn.
When God calls someone to the ministry, nothing and no one can remove that calling.
We can try to run from the calling, we can attempt to ignore the calling, but when God places His hand on our lives, He desires that we submit and enter into all He has for us.
I want to look at three aspects of ministry:
The Minister
The Ministry
The Message
What is a minister?
What is the ministry?
What is our message?
Who is your best minister in Scripture?
What was their ministry?
What was their message?
To focus on the ministry today and tomorrow, I want to look to Jesus as the example.
Before we look at WHAT Jesus did in the ministry, let’s focus on WHO He was a minister.
He was a servant:
How could it be that the ONE who was to save humanity served everyone else?
He was filled with the Spirit:
He was a man of prayer:
To prepare for a major task Luke 4:1-2, 14-15.
After Jesus was baptized He spent 40 days praying in the wilderness.
After this He was tempted by Satan and then began His public ministry.
To recharge after hard work Mark 6:30-32.
Jesus sent the 12 disciples out to do ministry.
When they returned He encouraged them to separate from the people who were following them to rest.
To work through grief Matthew 14:1-13.
After Jesus learned that his cousin John the Baptist had been beheaded, He went away by Himself.
Yes, even the Son of God grieves.
Before making an important decision Luke 6:12-13.
Early in His ministry Jesus spent the whole night alone in prayer.
The next day He chose his 12 disciples.
In a time of distress Luke 22:39-44.
Hours before Jesus was arrested He went to the Mt. of Olives and went a short distance away from His disciples to pray.
He was in great emotional agony knowing what he was about to face.
To focus on prayer Luke 5:16.
Many times in Jesus’ ministry He spent time alone in prayer.
EVERYTHING JESUS DID IN THE MINISTRY CAME FROM HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AS A MINISTER.
When we place ministry to people over our ministry to God, we end up with misplaced priorities.
The importance of our ministry is how we minister/serve the Lord.
We must be people of prayer
people of service
people of the Spirit
THE MINISTRY
Our responsibility in ministry
