Worship, Works And The Kingdom Of God

Summary:

Each of us have jobs or talents, how can we use them in serving one another for God’s glory?

It is not about our faith nor abilities; it is about His faith and His abilities.

Show Notes:

• God looks to the heart, not a position nor ability

• When helping others, what is our focus? Is it on the Lord?

• It is the relationship with the Lord that is the goal
