Ministry is never about the one who stands in front
It is about the One who stood in our place
We live in a world that applauds talent
But in the Kingdom it is obedience that Heaven honors
The story of every true servant begins and ends with Jesus
He calls
He equips
He sustains
And when He is at the center everything finds its purpose
The Work Is His
There are seasons when ministry feels heavy
But when Christ is at the center we remember it is not ours to carry alone
When we teach
When we sing
When we lead
We do not do it to build our name
We do it to lift His
If one person finds hope in Christ
If one soul turns back home
Then we say again
Lord we are privileged to serve
What Keeps Us Going
It is not applause
It is not recognition
It is grace
And grace is enough
When Christ is our center
We can be forgotten and still fulfilled
Because the goal was never to be seen
The goal was for Him to be known
Every Ministry Matters
Whether we lead children
Preach to hundreds
Serve in quiet places
Or sing behind closed doors
It all matters when Christ is at the center
The ministry becomes a mission
The work becomes worship
And the weight becomes joy
Stay Rooted in Him
Let every meeting
Every camp
Every prayer
Every moment of service
Be built on one foundation
Jesus is the reason
Jesus is the message
Jesus is the reward
Let that be the story
Let that be the heartbeat
Let that be the legacy we leave
Christ at the center
Always
