The Down to Earth PodcastS2 E14 - How Can I Serve My Church?On this week's episode, I have another book recommendation for you! "How Can I Serve My Church?" by Matthew Emadi."Believers display the greatness of God’s kingdom to a hostile world when. We selflessly serve each other and those around us. In this short booklet, Matthew Emadi explains the vital roles we play within the church. Through acts of service including hospitality, ministry, and evangelism, we bless our communities and long to hear Jesus one day say, 'Well done, good and faithful servant'."

Words and phrases like “blessed”, or “abiding in Christ”, or “fellowship”, etc. Sometimes, we can be so familiar with a word or phrase that we forget the actual meaning, weight, or depth of it. In this episode, with the help of a book recommendation and a few pastor friends of mine, we are going to look at what the gospel is and what the implications are for those who believe
