Calvary Chapel Of Crook County - Main

In Colossians 1:24-29, the Apostle Paul tells of the the mystery of which he became a minister: "Christ in you, the hope of glory.". Namely, that the Gentiles should be fellow partakers of the grace of God. As Pastor Ryan teaches through our text, he contrasts the effective and ineffective ways to minister to people. Paul's labor was a labor of love, both for God and for the souls of people. When we realize that reaching people is only as effective as the heart with which we reach them with, it will revolutionize our ministry. Jesus said that the world would know we were his followers by our love for one another. We must reach out because we love, not because we think we have to do it in order to be a good Christian.
