Ministry doesn’t have to be that way. If you seem to feel that, then you need to get your heart checked. Remind yourself of your purpose in God’s Kingdom.

For the presentation, try to make your own background design. For cellgroups, allot time to go out and study God’s Word in another place. Remember, when you get to heaven, worshipping God is all you will do with the other believers, 24/7. So, for now, allow yourself to be trained in preparation for eternity.
