Ministry Is Not Meant To Be A One-Man Show

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019

Do you need help? We rarely like to think that we do. How did Moses respond when someone said that he looked like he needed some help. Moses’ example is a great reminder of the help that God provides for us in those whom God has placed around us in our church to carry out the ministry together.

I’m fine” whether we really are or not. Why is that? There is a little part of us that doesn’t want to admit that we need ...read more
