FROM MEMBER TO MINISTER - A New Series Supported by David Platt's "Follow Me" (a blogpost for a sermon to be preached at Kenwood Church in Livonia, MI, on January 1, 2017)

As we take a deep dive into personal ministry at the beginning of 2017, I am going to challenge us all to look at our status as "members" of Kenwood as second to our position as "ministers" in the Kingdom."  While "membership has its privileges," we have all been called to minister within our calling as part of the body of Christ.  

Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20:

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
