Reflection of the Week - 9 February 2021

Posted Feb 9, 2021 in Faith

The Celebration of Ministry event last Sunday was a time to come together and also a time to acknowledge and recognise ministry of service in the Uniting Church in South Australia and the question asked during the service was – What compels a person to choose this path?

Ministry can be many things – a call to serve and to proclaim the Gospel by word or deed, empowered by the Holy Spirit. When a person is called to preach they do so because they are compelled to, that in their heart they desire to proclaim the word of God.

Have you not known?

Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God,

The Creator of the ends of the earth.

He does not faint or grow weary,

His understanding is unsearchable.

He gives power to the faint,

And to him who has no might he increases strength.

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted.

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

They shall run and not be weary,
