Is This Part of the Ministry, Too? - Season 5, Episode 123
Is a church picnic merely fun after the real ministry is over, or something more? Many believers quietly divide life into spiritual activities and everything else. Preaching on the morning of the church's fall festival, Pastor Dorrell turns to Joshua 4, where God commanded twelve memorial stones so children would one day ask what the Lord had done. Drawing also from Acts 2 and Colossians 2, he shows that God uses shared memories to pass faith to the next generation, fellowship to turn a congregation into a family, and love to knit hearts together. Listeners are challenged to widen their circle, learn names, and treat ordinary time together as part of the ministry, too.
