The Ministry
Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John O. ReidGod gives each of us gifts, and He has bestowed different gifts upon the elders within the church. These gifts are not by our own design but are part of His plan for us to serve Him by serving the congregation. The ministry, placed here by God, comprises individuals who have faced the same challenges as the members—working, tithing, standing firm for the Sabbath, and risking their livelihoods to keep the holy days. They have endured personal struggles and must confront their own character flaws while preaching to others, a task that carries great responsibility. The church must recognize that God works through His ministry, even amidst human imperfections, to guide and support the body of believers. When questions or concerns arise, members are encouraged to approach the ministry with maturity, studying diligently and seeking clarification through calm discussion or prayer, trusting God to provide understanding rather than allowing discord to take root.
