At Your Service
"Now I want to ask you the key question for this day: Are you more interested in being served in a church, or are you more interested in being a servant in the church? A first grade teacher asked her class the question: "What do you do to help at home?" One by one the answers came back. One little girl said, "I dry the dishes." One little boy said, "I feed the dog." Another child said, "I sweep the floor." Everybody gave an answer but one little boy sitting in the back. He didn't say anything. The teacher looked at him and said, "Johnny, what do you do to help out at home?" He said, "I stay out of the way."
"There are far too many church members in the church who just stay out of the way. A Gallup poll discovered that only 10% of church members are active in any kind of personal ministry in their church. What is even more amazing is that 50% of all church members said they have no interest in serving in any ministry of the church.
"Well, at our church we believe that every member is a minister, and every member should be involved in ministry. Let me go ahead and warn you that there is no excuse for a saint refusing to serve. I want to share with you today four reasons why you should determine to become the minister that God wants you to be, and get involved in the ministry that God has for you at church because ministry is one of the building blocks of the foundation of this church. "
