Good morning Brothers and Sisters in Christ. I just wanted to take a few moments to share a few things.
I work the weekend day shift and am therefore unable to attend Sunday Service at church; however, myself and a few like-minded individuals meet early at work on Sunday mornings and have our own service ( luckily 2 of my coworkers are ordained and serve as youth and assistant pastors). Anyway, I wanted to share what our sermon was about this morning: Romans 12.

I work the weekend day shift and am therefore unable to attend Sunday Service at church; however, myself and a few like-minded individuals meet early at work on Sunday mornings and have our own service ( luckily 2 of my coworkers are ordained and serve as youth and assistant pastors). Anyway, I wanted to share what our sermon was about this morning: Romans 12.
I believe it would be hard to find a book of the Bible that serves as a better example of what I think of when I think of Templars. Sacrifice. Humility. Mercy and charity. The call to serve according to one's gifts. And to do it all with zeal, passion, and love of the Lord.
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Romans 12:2
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."
Philippians 2:3–4 · ESV
If the whole of the world believed more in selfless service to one another and to God, to follow in the example of Jesus, the world would be a much happier place.
Even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Matthew... moreDo nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."
Philippians 2:3–4 · ESV
If the whole of the world believed more in selfless service to one another and to God, to follow in the example of Jesus, the world would be a much happier place.
Even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Matthew 20:28 · ESV
Our Lord provides the example for which we should all strive, and in so doing, make the world that much happier.
