Embrace Your Role in Ministry

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read – Sunday’s Memory Verse for 6/1/25

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” Ephesians 4:11-12 NIV

Recently, my pastor emailed a message to our local church body. It encouraged me so much I decided to share it with you. I pray that you will be encouraged to embrace God’s plan for your ministry, whatever that may be.

“One of the greatest deceptions to grip the church of Jesus Christ has been that ministry is for the professionals. We’ve mistakenly come to think that ministry is supposed to be done solely by those who have been licensed, ordained, employed, or otherwise set apart by a church or religious organization, and in embracing that belief, so many Christians have taken their place on the sidelines of ministry when God expects them to be in the game!” Dr. Jeff Reynolds, Pastor First Baptist Church Bowling Green, KY

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read for Friday, 5/30/25

“And this I pray, that your love may overflow still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may [a]discover the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ; Philippians 1:9-10 NASB Read full chapter

Footnotes

[a] Philippians 1:10 Or approve the things that matter

Comments: Even though Paul is writing this letter from prison, his concern for his beloved church in Philippi is that they would grow in love and discernment.

Walking in Truth

Cindy Dawson

Verses for Meditation for 5/29/25

“It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 3-4 NIV

Comments: The Apostle John emphasized the importance of walking in the truth. In his Gospel and three epistles, he mentions truth 69 times. If we walk in the truth, the time always comes when we will have to defend it from those who would distort it.

Following Christ’s Example

Cindy Dawson

Sunday’s Memory Verse for 5/25/25

“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.” 1 Peter 2:21 Read full chapter

What does it mean to follow in his steps? Someone could write a book on that! And someone did. First published in 1896, the book In His Steps, by Pastor Charles Sheldon, has sold more than 50 million copies and ranks as one of the bestselling books of all time. His book popularized the saying “What Would Jesus Do?”.
