Summary

Elder Bryce H. Lowrance teaches from 1 Corinthians 4:1-7 about the proper view of ministry, emphasizing that ministers are servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. He explains that ministers should not be exalted above the gospel message, but rather focus on faithfully delivering God's word to the congregation. The sermon highlights the humility required in ministry, the responsibility to feed the flock with the whole counsel of God, and the importance of faithfulness over seeking human approval. Biblical examples from Matthew, Ephesians, and 1 Peter reinforce the role of ministers as servants who serve willingly and as examples to the church.
