Serving in Faith (5 of 7)

Acts 3:1-21
We continue our series entitled, Unstoppable: 40 Days of Breakthrough Faith. I hope and pray that this series has been an encouragement to you and your family. I pray that it has increased your faith and challenged you to walk with God more faithfully.

So I am here as God's servant on Planet Earth to share what I have experienced, that others may know the glory of God.'' Most of us will never attain the status of a James B Irwin, but all of us can have the spirit he possessed-the spirit of a servant.*
The reality is, we have far too many celebrities in the church and far too few servants. There are preachers who think they're God's gift to preaching and church members who think they are God's gift to the church. There are preachers whose ego would fill up this room and people who get mad when they don't get proper recognition. There's on ...
