It doesn't work this way. Come on. We are all called to be in ministry. We are all called to be in service. Michael, we talked about this in Ephesians four that the leadership, the five fold ministry, are to equip the saints that you for works of ministry. That means that you are the real ministers, not even me. You are the real one that I get to play too. I'm a kind of a player coach. But at the same time, you, we are all in ministry. That's what the Bible says. Come on. It's so important that we understand this. [01:11:46] (34 seconds)  #AllCalledToServe Download clip

We our identity is securing Christ. It's not about this, but we do have a mission. Amen? We are sent into the world to be like Jesus and to bring his life into this world. So there is a sense of kingdom legacy. It's not what you accumulate in this world, in this life, but it's what you invest and generate for other people and how you love other people. We have to serve this world to be Jesus witnesses for Jesus and best in us of his kingdom. Amen? [01:06:18] (28 seconds)  #SentToServe Download clip

whole lives, everything we do, from getting up in the morning in the shower to a late at night, everything in between, between, it's all for the glory of God. Amen? So good. Everything we do is ministry. That's why one of our nine values in this church is your vocation is your ministry. I'm almost done. Quickly go. Do here. Vocation. Do you know the vocation? The word vocation comes from the Greek less lesson, I think. So lesson? Lesson here. Latin. Lesson from vocation. So vocation comes from vocation voice. See? I love this. Because the basic says, what is your voice in the world? [01:22:23] (40 seconds)  #FindYourVoice Download clip

and, God bless you. And, man, I really feel I really hope that tomorrow as you go to to your work, you know, to church. It's funny. You are the church. Absolutely. Tomorrow, when you go to church, it's not a Freudian slip. When you go to church tomorrow, you know that you will find a new zeal, zeal, a new anointing, a new happiness, a new pleasure that you are the minister of the gospel right there where you find yourself. And we love to hear the stories that come out of this. Is that alright? [01:45:54] (26 seconds)  #YouAreTheChurch Download clip

And when you find this, not only do do you find pleasure, but then God finds pleasure because I like this guy, this girl, because he's doing exactly what I made him to be. Yeah. There's choices. I get this. But he loves it when you find this. Come on. That business person who says, man, I wanna build businesses because I wanna have businesses that that's so integrity and the ways of God. Not like the world. I wanna reshape even maybe the whole industry. I wanna reshape this. God is pleasured with that. I think it's wonderful that people do this. Come on. It's just a joy of doing this because you are living then into the image of God. [01:19:38] (35 seconds)  #WorkWithIntegrity Download clip

so greater things, finishing today. Jesus has such a great vision. He says in Matthew 28, as you know, he said, go into the world and preach the gospel and make disciples of all nations, literally, to bapt ize nations into his life, not just people, nation, society, into the kingdom of God, into influence of God, that we will be his soul and his light in the community. And so nations can be you know, there's nations in the world that are mostly Christian. It's amazing what happens in those nations, but there are also a lot of nations who are not Christian at all. One of the nations is this particular nation. [01:04:31] (32 seconds)  #MakeDisciples Download clip

Do something because you can serve other people. Keep doing stuff because you are made to to create and to minister to other people. And work is not a curse. Again, I can't talk about this whole thing. It's a someone says that curse, you know, in the bible in Genesis, but it's the toil of us curse, but not work. God's always working. We're meant to work. We had a we had a commission even in Genesis to go and to multiply. It's all about working and creating and make this world a better place. Come on. All of us are called in this way, in this regard, in this sense. Wow. Wow. Wow. For God see, for God, work is a blessing. [01:15:59] (41 seconds)  #WorkIsBlessing Download clip

Keep going. Regain your voice. Have a holiday. Cry on somebody's shoulder, but keep going. If that's your voice, keep going because God will strengthen you, and people around you will strengthen you. There's no such thing as sacred or secular. Everything is spiritual. There's no such thing as clergy or laity. It's all we are all in the game of life fulfilling unique calling and work and places of influence in this world. Isn't that powerful, guys? Yeah. Very good. So we got twenty minutes.
