Seven Ministry Commands
Today Dr. Don Ross, Leader of the Northwest Ministry Network, is here to officially commission Rev. Darth Creek as our new Lead Pastor, and he is also presenting a challenging message from 2 Timothy 2 entitled,
“Seven Ministry Commands.”
2 Timothy 2: 1-7 NIV
1 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.
3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs but rather tries to please his commanding officer.
5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules.
6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.
7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
Command #2: Learn to Entrust Others (vs.2)
Command #3 & #4: Suffer like a Soldier (vs.3-4)
Command #5: Train like an Athlete (vs. 5)
Command #6: Develop a Farmer’s Attitude (vs.6)
Command #7: Reflect (vs.7)
