Real Christian Service - Deacon Ordination

Do we earn ordination? Sometimes people have a "what's in it for me?" attitude toward Christian service, with ordination seen as a reward due to them. But in this message given on the occasion of ordaining new deacons at GRC, Pastor Mat points out that real Christian service isn't done to get anything in return; it's done out of a love for Jesus and His church. True servants deal with humiliation and deep suffering at times, but Jesus gives us the strength to continue. And the amount we are willing to suffer, is the amount we will be glorified with Him. Please pray with us for new Deacons Andrew Cormier, Benjamin Davis, and Tyler Frederick.
