Co-Workers in God's Service

Christ is the foundation, God is the orchestrator, and we are the laborers of the field and the builders. Together we are the hands, feet, and voice for Him, to promote, grow, and build His Kingdom. This is a team effort, not a solo act.

August's Message, Day 3:

So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:7-11 NIV

We are co-workers in God's service, analogous to workers of the field or builders of homes and structures. No single person can effectively do it all. We each have a particular part to play, and for the crop of the field to produce a bountiful harvest, or the building to be strong and lasting, requires the cooperation and efforts of all of our talents. God's not calling you to do it all, just do your part to promote, grow, and build His Kingdom. The most important thing to remember is that God is the orchestrator, and Christ is the foundation, the bedrock on which everything must proceed from. We are just the laborers, the hands and feet, the voices and examples, to fulfil His good purpose and bring any and all who would come to Him.
