Week 35: Serving with Eternal Purpose

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” – 1 Corinthians 15:58 (CSB)

Sometimes ministry can feel routine … or let’s be real, even exhausting. But Scripture reminds us that every act of service done for the Lord has purpose and impact. God sees it all. Your labor, your preparation, your behind-the-scenes faithfulness … it’s not in vain. You’re part of something eternal.

This week, let’s be reminded that our service is never wasted when it’s done for Jesus. Whether you’re in front of the lights or behind the scenes, you are building something that lasts far beyond Sunday morning.

As musicians, that chord you practiced, the harmony you worked out, the worship you poured your heart into … it’s not just music, it’s ministry. You are shaping moments where the Spirit can move and hearts can respond. Keep going. It matters.

For our tech teams, when you run cables, check cues, or troubleshoot with grace, you’re not just fixing tech … you’re clearing the path for someone to meet Jesus. Your labor isn’t just valuable, it’s eternal.

  1. Personal Reflection: Ask God to renew your passion for serving. Reflect on how your role is part of God’s bigger redemptive plan.

  2. Team Reflection: Share a moment when you were reminded that your service made a difference. Encourage each other with these Kingdom stories.

  3. Sunday Preparation: Show up this Sunday with a mindset of mission. Whether it’s your 5th Sunday or your 500th, your service has eternal weight. Don’t quit. Keep excelling in the Lord’s work.
