The Real Work of Ministry Series 7 (Discipleship & Disciples)

In this episode, Pastor Tolu Ayeni explained the true work of ministry as modeled by Jesus — preaching, teaching, and raising disciples. We’re reminded that our calling is not just to reach the lost, but to bring them into the local church for care, growth, and spiritual maturity. Ministry is about shepherding, not status, and God appraises us by how well we serve the saints and disciple others.

This sermon also unpacks what it truly means to call Jesus the Son of God — not biologically, but by divine role and authority. Jesus is the firstborn who represents us before the Father, and we are now called to live as priests and kings: praying, guiding, and leading others in the faith.
