Adrian Rogers: Discovering Your Ministry (2074)

Sermon Overview
Scripture Passage: Romans 12:1-13
Adrian Rogers says, “We’re in the business of serving the Lord, and God has given to every one of us a ministry.”
As we mature in our faith, we are called to find our place of service. The days we’re living are desperate; it’s time we discover our individual ministry to serve the Body of Christ.
Romans 12 offers four principles to remember when discovering our ministry.
The first principle is lordship. Romans 12:1 says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”
Before we ask God for answers about our ministry, we must present ourselves for His service. We must remember that He has shown tremendous mercy, that when we were rebels, God saved and secured us. We are required to present ourselves to Him as living sacrifices. As a result, we will be transformed. When we present ourselves as living sacrifices, our inner nature, which is Jesus, comes to the surface and people see Him through us. With our minds renewed to look like Christ’s, we are able to make assessments that we could never make before. We are able to think, not with human rationality, nor human intellect or intuition, but with divine guidance.
The second principle is membership. “…so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another…” (Romans 12:5).
Many of us don’t know our ministry, because we’ve looked for it outside of the Body of Christ. We need each other, and to say otherwise is sheer pride and arrogance.
The third principle is stewardship. “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them…” (Romans 12:6).
We are stewards over the gifts God has given us; we must use them wherever and however God guides us.
The final principle is fellowship. “Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another...” (Romans 12:10).
If we abide by these four principles, God will use us so deeply for one another to prove what is good and acceptable; we will be examples of the perfect will of God.
Apply it to your life
Have you discovered your ministry? Abide by the principles of lordship, membership, and stewardship; continue in fellowship with other believers.

Hi brothers and sisters! Please help me pray for my dad. For salvation and fast recovery. He was on life support and treated with remdesivir unnecessarily and now he is very weak and skinny. Please help me pray for him! Thanks so much

[@JustinMoore-wk5ln]

Profound Truth , Simply stated…🙌🏼🙏🏼

[@user-lm9ix2gd4w]

ABBA FATHER, thank you for my ministry, giving me more of you and less of me! 🇺🇸💁🏾 You are my way, truth, and life. I delight to do your will, from day to day. Reading your beautiful book of memories of old, refreshes my soul, transforming my heart and mind. Yes Lord, you are my great physician, and Redeemer. Your principles are mine, dear Lordship of my being. Thank you for your amazing Grace. Continue to equip me with courage to walk on the narrow road.. I seek you first, daily, waiting for your tender mercies and judicial guidance. Today, I present myself a living sacrifice to do your will, everywhere I go. I praise you always, because without you, I am nothing. 🙏

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. (Philippians 2:12‭-‬13 NIV)

Live sacrifice is something that we don't do very often pastor Roger explain and is understandable God help us to serve.

[@bobvadney7240]

Finally the term " Lordship" presented as it should be...present..we strive to serve Christ b/c He,s Lord of all...that ever was...is...& shall be...!! & not using..." LORDSHIP" as a requirement to be saved or to stay....saved...Its God who has made Jesus both LORD & CHTIST...Acts 2:36... 😇💥♥️

[@bobvadney7240]

The AV/ KJV..is still only English Inspired Transltion....in the English speaking world...its also Infallible & Inerrant...Pure Preserved & Perfect...b/c this AV/ KJV is the best reflection of the " Original Mss..".. today...based on the Mesoretic text for the O.T.& the T/ R for the N.T...& only bibles based on these Mss are valid regardless of the language..i.e. Spanish, German, French...etc..WHY...??? NOTHING,S...MISSING..All modern bibles..bar none DENY..The Deity of Christ..1Tim.3:16..." He appeared in a body" ..no mystery there folks who of us hasnt..?? Deny the Blood atonement..Col.1:14.. " Thru' His Blood" Eliminated..Expunged..& Omitted..Deny The Virgin Birth..of Christ..." His Father & Mother..Lk.2:33... not only do ALL Modenrn Bibles contain this Roman Catholic Corruption..but so also does the " Sacred Cow of Roman Catholic Reformed Calvinism,s ESV. '01 & '15..same as the NWT..That folks in case ya forgot is the bible of the Jehovah,s Witnesses..a MAJOR CULT...Helllooooothats right the ESV. '01 & '15 Read the same in some 30 places or verses as the NWT...i..stopped counting @ 30...why..1Cor.5:6-8... i,ll give ya one example..in Col.1:14.. both the ESV,s & the NWT..OMIT EXPUNGE & ELIMINATE...THRU' HIS BLOOD" No doubt for purposes of clarity...!! Yet w/o the shedding of blood there is no remission of...sins..Heb.9:22; Lev.17:11.. yet ya wont find it in a single modern bible in the world..the ESV,s or the NWT....sooo..feel free to refute this vicious pack of truth..

Excellent sermon!

[@hamarijz-borokgoro]

Correction: At 8:48 he mentions 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. But the caption says chapter 8:19-20. This chapter only has 13 verses I believe.

[@5aith681]

Good morning
