Who is the servant?

Who are we serving?

The kids? The church? The building? Ourselves?

Who are we serving?

Who is our Goal in our service?

“For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake” (2 Cor 4:5)

St. Anthony the Great One of the entrances

1. “For we are to God the Fragrance of Christ” (2 Cor 2:15) So how can we be a fragrance?

Perseverance in the service, how? We need to learn from our Lord Jesus Christ while He was serving. Never give up on whom you serve;… The Samaritan woman Serving on the Cross?

Perseverance in the service, how? Learn from our Saints and Church Fathers St. Paul never gave up on the Corinthians Never give up on whom you serve;…

2. “Ministers of the new covenant” (2 Cor 3:6) Diff between the old and the new covenant? Source in the old covenant? The Law It was a source of curse and death Esau selling his birthright We the Gentiles are similar to Jacob

Lessons from the Old to help us ministers of the new Covenant How many of us husbands pray for his wife? How may of us wives pray for her husband? Rebecca and Isaac Abraham and Sarah raising Isaac Jacob and Rachel

3. we have this treasure in Earthen Vessels (2 Cor 4:7) We servants need to listen: 4. Ministers of Reconciliation (2 Cor 5:18) “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6) OK God but how do I find the way? I want to be with you but I don’t know how;… “For where two or three gather together in My name, I am there in the midst of them ” (Matt 18:20)

We learn:  The service is a great responsibility.  We need to attract not repel.  To pray for our kids (our own and SS)  To pray for the service of each other (servants)

 May the blessings of St. Mary, Archangel Michael, all the Saints and all the martyrs be with us all. Amen
