He explains that while churches in Scripture are independent and local, workers are called to associate and collaborate under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, forming groups without official organization. Nee highlights that the work of God should focus on establishing local churches rather than creating denominational branches, as true cooperation among workers is rooted in a shared commitment to the Body of Christ. He warns against the dangers of both individualism and man-made organizations, advocating for a spiritual fellowship that reflects the unity of the Body. Ultimately, the goal is to build up local expressions of the Church, ensuring that all efforts are aligned with God's will and purpose.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the significance of the hands in spiritual service, illustrating how they symbolize our inner disposition and commitment to God. He draws parallels between the literal and symbolic meanings of hands, highlighting that true spirituality encompasses manual work and daily tasks, as demonstrated by Paul and Jesus. The act of consecrating our hands to the Lord signifies dedicating all our activities to His service, transforming mundane tasks into opportunities for spiritual ministry. Sparks encourages believers to recognize that their hands reflect their inner willingness and spirit of service, urging them to engage in all work as an act of worship. Ultimately, he calls for a life where every action is done for the glory of God.

Watchman Nee addresses the critical issue of finance in ministry, emphasizing that the early apostles relied solely on God's provision rather than human support. He argues that true faith in God eliminates financial concerns, allowing workers to focus on their spiritual mission without being influenced by monetary needs. Nee warns against the dangers of seeking financial security from men, which can compromise the spiritual integrity of the work. He encourages a life of faith where workers trust God for their needs, asserting that financial independence from human sources fosters a deeper relationship with God. Ultimately, he calls for a return to the biblical principle of living by faith, where God's servants depend entirely on Him for their sustenance.

St. John Climacus preaches about the dangers of avarice, describing it as a form of idol worship, a manifestation of unbelief, and a hindrance to spiritual growth. He emphasizes the importance of selflessness and generosity, contrasting it with the selfishness of those who love money. Climacus highlights the deceptive nature of the love of money, warning that it can lead to a lack of compassion and a neglect of true charity towards the poor. He encourages a life of simplicity and humility, where one's focus is on spiritual richness rather than material wealth.

David Servant preaches on the essence of love as making sacrifices for others, using Paul's example of denying his right to be paid by the people he preached to in Corinth to avoid hindering the gospel.
