"Michael Hammer, a professor of business administration at MIT University in the United States, said that the survival of a 21st century company depends on office automation or computers.
He said that it depends on getting out of the old inertia. All companies and management are connected to the previous structure, tradition, or history.
It means that you have to be bold and start fresh. With a heart that starts from scratch, everything is “from the spirit”
(Zero Base)" was the argument to start.
The ministry is no exception. It means that the ministry can also be a business. In addition to personal life,
You must also start your life of faith with the mindset of starting anew like this. I myself graduated from seminary in 1964 and in 1966
As we look back on the past 30 years, we are approaching the new millennium. At this point, let's take a moment to rethink what ministry is.
I want to think wisely. It means to think about what it means to be pastoral. What the hell is pastoral
Ask yourself what it is and how to do it.
John Calvin once said, “Ministry is God-planned, God-prepared, and God-directed.
It's helping people," he said. Ministry is to help the saints through obedience to God. Saint
The ministry is to help strengthen the faith of these people, and to help them to have a powerful faith, a lively faith, and a strong faith.
The father of a child who appears in today's text is also pleading with the Lord, "Help my faith." Jesus is a missionary
At the end of the station, I go on a missionary trip to the region of Caesarea Philippi. Nine of the twelve disciples were placed at the foot of the mountain, and only three
Together, you climbed Mt. While Jesus was on the mountain, the nine disciples who remained at the foot of the mountain suffered from epilepsy.
The father brings the sick child and asks for it to be healed. In the end, the disciples cannot heal the child.
All. The boy's father and his disciples were stumped, not knowing what to do. At this time, Jesus came down from the mountain.
When Jesus asks about the situation, the father of the child tells what he has done so far and says, "If you can do anything, please help me."
Please. Then Jesus said to the Father, "Nothing is impossible for him who believes."
He rebuked you for not believing. When the father heard this, he cried out, ""I believe. help my unbelief
Give me."", and finally Jesus healed the child completely. This is the content of today's text,
This is the ministry Jesus showed us.
In today's text, the disciples who are bewildered and anxious because they can't heal their sickness or hugging a sick child in pain,
A father who struggles to find a way is what a modern person looks like today. What these modern people desperately need is faith.
All. The ministry is to help those who need this kind of faith. Therefore, all the work of the church is
It is a work to help the faith of the saints. Worship and education, social service, missionary work, men's and women's evangelism groups, choir, Sunday school, etc.
All businesses should focus on this ministry. Rather, there should be no harm to the faith. believe like this
Specifically, building a note requires three basic elements: This basic element is right and lively.
Only when it is done rightly can your faith grow and build up rightly.
I. First, the work of God's Word must be done properly
At the same time, it is also a personal responsibility. In many cases, instead of being busy with church work, it is not possible to be with God today.
Meeting reality. The Word of God appears in three forms in history. First, Jesus Christ came in history.
it's god This is called the Incarnation (道成人神). The second is the written Word of God. read and write this
and make you study. Third, the word of God is proclaimed. You must listen carefully to the worship sermon.
One scholar said that sermons are not audible and meaningless in the following three cases. The first is to hide
case. That is, a person who deceives himself by saying "I have no problem". No problems, no questions
He said that the Bible does not say anything to those who The second is self-excuse. That is, "" that sermon
It has nothing to do with me."" ""Who should listen to those words... Who should listen to those words?
It's okay..."" to turn it to someone else, or change yourself by saying ""I had no choice but to do that... God will understand...""
To the one who commands, the word means nothing. Third, take responsibility for yourself, saying, ""Everything is the devil's work."
In case of avoidance. Hearing sermons from such a person will mean nothing and will not help you in your faith.
There was a respected elder in a church, and he said, "That's the word God gave me" in any sermon.
He preached a parable.” During the sermon, he raised his right hand while saying, “There are church members like goats among us.”
Coincidentally, the elder was sitting on the right. I feel bad for nothing, the next week, take a seat on the left
and sat down. The sermon that day was about "a publican and a Pharisee." But that day too, coincidentally, a Pharisee
Adam and Eve's transgression," and God said to Adam hiding in the garden forest, "Adam, where are you?"
I gave the sermon you asked. On this day, the elder made up his mind and seemed to point to himself when he was on the left or on the right.
Arthur went to the back of the pillar and sat down, and it was only then that he heard this sermon. It was then that the elder tried to hide himself so
It is said that he became a faithful elder who was respected by all members of the church after how free and gracious.
Our church held a bible reading march this year. There are 1,117 people in today's weekly bulletin. Sunday day in our church
It is a wishful heart. We also have weekly Bible study classes in our church. And on weekdays from Kindergarten Part 1 to Senior Part 2
There are 18 study groups. We hope that all members of the church will also come here to study the Bible. It is like the body nourishes
Because it is like being supplied.
II. The second is prayer ministry.
Faith can be established only when the prayer life is right. It will become a strong and powerful belief. in the life of faith
He said that prayer is like the breath of human life. Those who confidently lead a prayer life have no fear.
No anxiety. There is joy and peace.
There is such a myth in India. A magician found a mouse one day. The reason for the rat trembling in anxiety
When asked, she replies that she is afraid of the cat and is afraid. The kind-hearted magician turned the mouse into a cat. But
Even as a cat, it still trembles. The reason is that it is like a dog bite. The magician turns a cat into a dog
made it become And yet it is still trembling. The reason is that they are afraid of tigers. Don't do this again
The magician turned the dog into a tiger. Still, I am anxious. Was it that the gunner's hunting gun was scary?
All. What does this myth mean? Modern man has all the conveniences, sciences, material things, and pleasures. By the way
is still anxious. Because he is trying to live his own life, it is inevitable that he will become anxious. praying to God
There is peace in sleeping. There is joy. Because faith in God saves the person from anxiety and fear.
is.
There are many different prayer groups in our church. The Wednesday prayer meeting and the morning prayer meeting are events that all members of the church must attend.
Responsible. God expects it and requires it to be so. one week in a row
To pray, it would be possible with 168 people praying for just one hour each. It is impossible to attend the early morning prayer meeting without missing a single day 365 days a year.
When the church prays for 40 days, you must believe that God has prepared it for you as a special opportunity and be able to attend.
All. This is because it will deepen your faith and help you live your life of faith. Believe that God is with those who pray
Please.
III. It is a worship service
A church with proper worship is alive, and the faith of members who worship properly stands upright. Family worship is also important.
It is necessary to make changes at your discretion. This is because the church members do not get bored and there is a sense of tension and vitality in the worship service.
is. Some pastors sometimes preach in places where the congregation cannot see them, and in other cases two people preach together.
I have heard that sometimes they do hymns, prayers, or special songs before preaching again. even the
It is said that some churches in Korea set aside a director to prepare for a dramatic worship service.
Success and failure, happiness and unhappiness are determined by who or what a person is with. Umbrella even on a rainy day
If there is a light, there is no need to worry about a strong shower, and even in a dark night, if there is a lamp, there is no need to worry about darkness. knowledge with books
Get it, and be with a good friend so you won't be lonely. You get health when you work with a good teacher, and you gain virtue when you work with a good teacher.
I did. With a good spouse, you will have a happy family. And if you are with God, you will get happiness and life.
Dear brothers and sisters, please do not cling to old habits and customs as Michael Hammer argued. start anew
Renew your faith in your heart. For this, please pray ""Help my unbelief..."". roughness
Because there is healing, there is salvation, and there is happiness.”
