2025 Message 2/16, “How to Joyfully Minister to Others”

Since we’re created to enjoy the Lord, here’s “How to Joyfully Minister to Others” to bring confidence and blessing in joyful service! • Know that to minister is to serve someone in Jesus’ name (Matt. 10:42). • Know that you’re a minister (Eph. 4:11-12), and that what you do is extremely important. • Follow Jesus’ humble example (Mark 10:45). • Know Jesus’ sympathy and show it to others (Heb. 4:14-16). • Know that you’re forgiven (John 3:16), not based on your good works, but because of Jesus. • Serve Jesus and others through your callings (1 Cor. 12:28). As you trust the Lord in ministry, you’ll gain confidence in the Lord and His faithfulness and find great joy as you bless others! #fccbp Works Cited “Scripture taken from the New American Standard Bible-R-, Copyright-C- 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation.
