Welcome to the Crazy Love Podcast.

When gathering together for worship, it's good to minister to other people.

Scripture commands us to look after the needs of those in the body.

But how often do we focus on ministering to the Lord?

In today's episode, Francis points us back to making what the Lord desires our highest

priority.

Starting ourselves for the moment we see His face, unashamedly declaring His truth and

ministering to Him with true worship.

Earlier when we were reading the Scriptures, someone was reading from 1 Peter, if we had

who it was, but in 1 Peter 4, he says, as each one has received a gift, use it to serve

one another as good stewards of God's varied grace.

Whoever speaks is one who speaks the oracles of God, whoever serves as one who serves by

the strength that God supplies, in order that in everything God may be glorified through

Jesus Christ, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever.

Scripture says that everyone's been given a gift and you're to use that for the building

up of the body of Christ.

And I've been praying for the church, we as elders have been praying for the church.

And just saying, God, we so want the church to be ready for when you return.

And so God, how can we use our gifts to serve the body so that we're ready when you return

and that is because we love you and we're going, God, I just want every person that calls

we our church a part of our church, I want every person just ready for that day.

I mean, in short, we want to prepare you for the most important second of your existence.
