But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. Acts 6:4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not. 2 Corinthians 4:1

Ministry....what is ministry? Webster defines it as being the office, duties, or functions of a minister. It is the period of service or office of a minister or ministry. What is ministration? Webster states that it is the act or process of ministering.

Knowing this, ministry has many facets. There are different levels and types of ministry. There is the pastor, minister, evangelist, deacon, servant, choir member, usher, member, and the list goes on and on. We must keep in mind that above all of these levels and types of ministries, Jesus should be the cornerstone and rock with which the church ministries function upon. We must remember that we are all servants of the Most High God and Jesus should be first, foremost and the center of the church. More importantly, He should be the center of our heart of life. For we can do nothing without Christ. Anything done without Christ is nothing but tinkling cymbals and sounding brass.

Let us stand humble, bold, firm and sincere in the ministry of Christ our Lord.

Let us remember God's Word: For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:12
