Every Job is Important

Every serving position at New Day is important. Not all roles are prominent, but every role is important. I never want anyone at our church to underestimate the importance of their role. Every job is important. To help that truth sink into your heart I want to share the following story...

Years ago two teenage boys came to an evangelistic meeting that was meeting in a tent. They tried to get in but it was packed out. It was wall to wall people. These two teenage boys couldn’t get in to hear the speaker. But there was an observant usher and he saw these teenage boys trying to get in and he said “Let me help you, fellows.” He took these two teenagers and personally escorted them down to the front row and got them a seat. One of those two boys was Billy Graham. That night when Billy Graham gave his life to Christ it set him on a course for ministering the rest of his life and the world was changed.

Sometimes we think the role we play at the church isn't as important as another role. But we can't think that way! Every role is important. We never know the impact we'll have on all eternity when we serve faithfully - even in roles that don't seem as significant as others.
