In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of not acting solely in response to need. He highlights the danger of the church being deceived in the last days by constantly running after various needs without seeking God's guidance. The speaker uses the example of Moses being sent by God to deliver the Israelites, not because Moses saw the need, but because God saw it. He warns against presumption and the temptation to rely on flashy marketing and hype rather than seeking the true revelation of God. The speaker also expresses admiration for those who faithfully serve in humble and inconspicuous ways, recognizing the necessity of such service before the more glorious things.

Jackie Pullinger shares her testimony of faith and sacrifice, illustrating the profound impact of unconditional love and service to others, particularly the needy. She recounts her experience of selling her beloved oboe to help a girl in trouble, emphasizing that true ministry is not about expecting gratitude or change but about reflecting the love of Jesus, who gave His life for us without conditions. Pullinger's encounter with a gang leader highlights the importance of living out the gospel through actions and genuine care, rather than mere words. Ultimately, she stresses that the essence of ministry lies in sharing our lives and love with others, just as Christ did for us.

Chuck Smith emphasizes that all believers are called to be ministers of God, highlighting the necessity of relying on the Holy Spirit for true ministry. He warns against the dangers of ministering in the flesh, stressing that self-confidence can lead to ineffective service. The purpose of ministry is to share the good news, heal the brokenhearted, and proclaim liberty to the captives, while the results of true ministry bring beauty, joy, and praise to those in need. Ultimately, the goal of ministry is to glorify God, not ourselves.

George Fox emphasizes the distinction between true ministers of Christ and those who misuse scripture for personal gain. He warns against supporting those who demand tithes without providing spiritual nourishment, arguing that such practices contradict Christ's teachings. Fox highlights the importance of recognizing the unchangeable priesthood of Christ and the new covenant, which frees believers from the obligations of the old priesthood. He encourages believers to support genuine ministers who preach the gospel freely, while rejecting those who exploit their positions for financial gain. Ultimately, Fox calls for discernment in spiritual matters and a commitment to Christ's doctrine.

In this sermon, the speaker addresses the superficiality of a church that is seeking external sources to bring meaning and redemption to their lives. He emphasizes that the true essence of God can be found in the ordinary aspects of life, if one is willing to look for it. The speaker challenges the church to examine their own lives and the content of their faith in order to truly embody an apostolic calling. He also highlights the importance of addressing the practical aspects of life and holding each other accountable in the church community.
