May 2018 Mission Council

May 2018 Mission  Council

We have been called to be official ministers of God:

    ~To do the work of the Lord here on earth

    ~To be God's chosen servants, officially called of God

       to minister in His work

    ~To do the Lords will, and represent Him,

       to act as His agents

    ~To do the necessary work of salvation for mankind

 Ministers and Missionaries- What is the difference between being an official representative of the Lord....and doing good... even much, much good?  Giving service is different than ministering.  Importance of our role in teaching, proclaiming, unfolding the Work of Salvation

• How well do we know our fellow servants?
• Do we depend on each other?
• What do we know about each other?
• Do we protect each other?
• Do we support, sustain, and pray for each other?

How do we measure up?  What are we 'giving up' to serve our God? What are we 'giving' to serve our God? What is the difference between sacrificing and

consecrating our efforts?
