As we gear up for the beginning of a new ministry year, Pastor Chris examined common pitfalls in church ministry by outlining five ways people often approach ministry incorrectly. In 1 Thessalonians 2:1-6, the apostle Paul highlights the importance of having pure motives and focusing on pleasing God rather than seeking personal gain or recognition in ministry. Listen as Pastor Chris encourages us to approach church involvement with a God-centered perspective, reminding us that true ministry is focused on God, not ourselves.
