Gospel Mission Church - SermonsRoles at God's Church: Leading, Serving, and Responding - Pastor Gerhard Penner From the very beginning, God has designed the church with a specific structure and order, not for control or authority, but for our good and His glory. Just as every area of life—government, marriage, family—has a structure that, when followed, leads to harmony and flourishing, so too does the church. Leadership in the church is not a human invention, but a gift from Jesus Himself. He appoints leaders—pastors, elders, deacons—not to lord over others, but to serve, care, teach, and equip the body for ministry. When leaders fulfill their calling with humility and the congregation responds...

It will ask you to trade your purpose for something manageable plans. To hand over your creativity in exchange for predictable returns.

The Unreasonable Art of Living#38 - Walking The Path Of Not-KnowingIn today's episode, I dive deep into the essence of navigating life's uncertainties, a journey I've aptly named "Walking The Path Of Not-Knowing." This concept emerges from a blend of personal reflections and the realization that much of our lives are spent in pursuit of dreams and ambitions. We often find ourselves striving to map out our lives, seeking answers, and planning every step with precision. Yet, through my experiences, I've come to understand that our minds are not solely tools for plotting life's course but are meant for creativity, solving problems, and embracing the moment.It...
