Minister's Message

SERVER NOT WORKING

A message from Rick Mosher, minister
Licking Christian Church

A few months ago one of my friends on Facebook posted a comment “server not working today”. He was referring to a key piece of equipment in the computer system at the place he is employed. However it got me thinking about an idea to share with you on here.

The Christian life is about service. Jesus said in Luke 22.27b, “… I am among you an one who serves.” In Matthew 23.11 Jesus told His disciples, “The greatest among you will be your servant.” In the great judgment scene in Matthew 25 He rewards the “good and faithful servant” who met the needs of the hungry, thirsty, sick, imprisoned, needy for clothing, and strangers needing hospitality. Of course the very most important task of the church, reaching the lost, requires people who will SERVE Jesus. In Luke 10.2 Jesus remarks as He sent out one of the first waves of evangelists, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Sometimes, however, the work of Christ does not go forward as well as it could, as well as it should, because “the servers aren’t working today”. Usually on here I present a message to those who don’t yet know Christ but this month let me challenge us who are in Christ to not depend on a web site to do our work for us. Let’s all get out and SERVE.

Meanwhile if there are people reading this who are looking for hope, for something better, or for assistance in completing your obedience to the Gospel, visit or contact us at Licking Christian Church. If you do not live in our community, we will be glad to try to help connect you with a congregation near you.
