Ministering to the Lord Has to Proceed Ministering for the Lord

Nov 16, 2025    David Swart

In this message, we see that ministering to the Lord has to precede ministry for the Lord. In a performance-driven world, we often try to perform for God, leading to burnout and emptiness. Instead, we are called to intimacy and worship with Jesus, which is the true birthplace of fruitfulness. Drawing from scripture, we find that God's people are called to be a royal priesthood to proclaim His excellencies. Ultimately, by beholding the glory of the Lord, we are transformed into His image, making intimacy with Jesus our identity and purpose.
