Success in the Ministry, Part 1

September 6, 2016
The world has a mentality in order to be successful you gotta step on people to get ahead. However for the Christian, success in ministry is obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul was mighty in the ministry because he was sensitive to Gods guiding. This practical and yet often difficult practice for us, because of self-dependency. Pastor Jeff is in Romans chapter 15 beginning at verse 17, in the study titled, “Success in the Ministry.”
References: Romans 15:17-24

The word ministry means service, or rather to serve others. Jesus gave us the greatest example of this. Pastor Jeff is teaching from Romans chapter 15, and we are learning that the Apostle Paul also ministered wherever God placed him. The same should be true for us as well. Because when we have done it to the least of them, we have done it unto Christ. This is the second half and conclusion of the study titled, “Our Ministry.”

Matthew Henry said, “"The joy of the Lord will arm us against the assaults of our spiritual enemies and put our mouths out of taste for those pleasures with which the tempter baits his hooks." This statement is so true. Having the joy of the Lord makes us detest the pleasure of the world, that are fleeting. It’s only in Jesus Christ that joy and peace will be attained. Pastor Jeff wraps up his study titled, “Hope, Joy and Peace” from Romans chapter 15.

We are in the book of Romans chapter 15, beginning at verse 8, and encourage you to follow along with us for the study titled, “Hope, Joy and Peace.”

Man has been searching out God ever since we lost fellowship with Him in the Garden of Eden. Unfortunately, instead of seeking to find God, man looked to religion, and other ungodly practices. Gaining favor with the Lord is not in religious works but in receiving His Son Jesus. The churches aim should be transforming into His sons image, and loving one another. It’s only in this that we will be able to truly have fellowship with each other and God. This is the conclusion to the message, “To Be Like Him.”

Divisions and contentions within the body are never warranted. Jesus wants His bride to be a united front, under the banner of His love. The Apostle Paul in Romans chapter 15 is exhorting the church at Rome, to love each other, and strive for Christ’s example. This same exhortation is greatly needed today in our churches. This is the second half of the study titled, “To Be Like Him”

. As believers our target is Christ. This means to be like Him in all areas of our lives. One of the most important principles Jesus taught about His kingdom, was to love others.

Today, Pastor Jeff Johnson is in Romans chapter 15, and we will learn that if want to be like Christ, we must have love for others. This is the study titled, “To Be Like Him”.

. On this edition of Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff wants us to lighten up on the convictions we have, individually. We learned last time that trying force your own personal convictions on people, causes us to become a stumbling block to them. The Apostle Paul, is teaching the very same thing in Romans Chapter 14. This is the study titled, “Be A Stepping Stone.”
