This sermon kicked my butt. Matt Chandler has a tendency to do that, but still. Wow. I plan on spending some time to reflect on the words that he says here, especially his conclusion. Am I in this because of me? Am I pursuing ministry because it's my "niche"? Do I only pray in public? Am I defining success in ministry by Western standards? Or am I doing this because Jesus has been, is, and always will be enough? Tough questions, and ones I need to ask myself daily. Thanks, Matt, for this message to me. It was a wake-up call.
Here's the site where you can listen to his message. It was given at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary's chapel on November 12th. Enjoy...if that's the right word.
