How can I receive praise from God and live a life with no regrets?
1. It tells us to become church workers (verse 1).
In verse 1 of the text, we introduce Phoebe as “a minister of the church”.
Here, 'worker' is 'diakonon' in Greek and refers to the current butler.
She is proudly recommended by Paul as a woman, which was surprising considering the social position of women at that time.
It can be seen that Phoebe lived a devoted role and a servant life in the Ceengria Church.
1 Timothy 3:13
2. Be a good co-worker with the pastor (verses 2-5)
* David's five slings - Fulfilled in 2 Samuel 21:22
*Verse 5 - Ebanedus (“beloved” - Agapeton)
* Co-workers of Prisca and Aquila, who cooperate to the end despite Paul's crisis
Only when we work together can we live the mission God has entrusted to us: the life of preaching the gospel through the Word and prayer, and the life of a witness.
In other words, it leads to the proclamation of the gospel through the Word and prayer.
Ex) Papa Johns
The church is a community of people who have been saved through Jesus Christ.
Therefore, the vitality of the church does not depend on how many people are gathered.
The strength of the church depends not only on believing in Jesus Christ, but also on how many have given themselves up to be used by God.
The job given to me depends on how many people come to me with the conviction that God is using me.
And the strength of the church is determined by how many people cooperate with the leaders of the church that God has established.
The German philosopher Immanuel Kant put it this way:
"People don't do what they want to do, they live doing what they have to do"
People who only do what they want to do cannot live a good life.
People who do what they want to do and do not do what they really need to do will surely regret it.
Example) The reaction of the three people who build the church
What is important is the fact that this story is our story today.
Some people think that they work while doing the same service at the church.
Some people are reluctant to work in the church.
Some people are unavoidable in terms of face.
Some people say they can't do it because the pastor tells them to do it.
However, there are people who think that they are serving God's church while doing the same thing.
They all look the same on the outside, but in terms of quality, there is a huge difference.
Who do you think is a true church worker?
Also, in the eyes of God, what kind of person do you think he sees as a true worker?
What do you look like?
When we all serve with joy, great rewards will be given to us in the kingdom of God.
I pray in the name of the Lord that the names of the Women's Women's Church and the members of today's devotion service can be recorded as glorious names in the history of the Kingdom of God and the Korean Church in Malacca, just like the people who decorate Romans 16 today.
