Third Sunday of Easter: Co-laboring with God - Illinois Mennonite Conference Annual Assembly

On this Third Sunday of Easter, I preached at East Bend Mennonite Church which hosted the Illinois Mennonite Conference Annual Assembly from April 20 - 22, 2012.  Our theme for the Assembly was from 1 Corinthians 3: 1-9: We are Co-laborers with God.

Connect to A Vision for God: Seeing Whom God Sees.  Paul addressed the Corinthian Christians that they were fighting about which ministry and which leader was more important.  In so doing, they missed seeing God and they missed seeing whom God sees.  Ministry fails when we quarrel about what we believe to be important in ministry because we miss God and what God is doing and whom God is embracing.  May we not lose our vision of God in participating with what God is doing and whom God is embracing.
