Sermon: Acts 2:42-47, John 13:1-15
October 7th, 2007 · Posted in SERMONS · 0 CommentsI have posted today’s sermon on my sermon blog. It’s the last in my series on Let’s Be The Church God Wants Us To Be — based on Acts 2:42-47 and John 13:1-15 — and entitled “Let’s Be A Church That Serves“.
Here’s a portion of it:
An admirer once asked the late, great orchestra conductor Leonard Bernstein what was the most difficult instrument to play. He responded :
“Second fiddle. I can get plenty of first violinists, but to find one who plays second violin with as much enthusiasm or second french horn or second flute, now that’s a problem. And yet if no one plays second, we have no harmony.”
If no one is willing to “play second” – if no one is willing to take the role of the servant – if no one is willing to serve others – there is no harmony – and we can not be the Church God wants us to be.
