READ: Matthew 20:20-28
The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. —Matthew 20:28
What does it take to disrupt the good work of a church? Just one power-hungry person.
One of my college friends, a pastor, wrote to me about a disruption in his church. People had come to faith in Christ, and membership had quadrupled. The members were active in serving the church and community.
But then one man in a leadership position began to envy the pastor’s influence. He felt he deserved more power, so he began to tear down the pastor—thinking that would increase his own stature. It didn’t matter to him what he was doing to God’s work; he wanted power and recognition. He caused such an uproar that my friend finally had to resign.
When it comes to serving Christ, we have no right to seek power. We have no calling for prestige. We have no reason to look for self-aggrandizement and recognition. How much better to serve quietly in the background, keeping in mind that Jesus, our example, “did not come to be served, but to serve” (Matt. 20:28).
Are you a pastor? A teacher? A deacon? A missionary? A church member? If you look for power, you may get it, but it will become power that disrupts the good work of your church ministry.

060921-N-0780F-003 Souda Bay, Crete, Greece (Sept. 21, 2006) - The Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS Dallas (SSN 700) heads to sea following a brief port visit. Dallas is homeported in Groton, Conn., and is currently on a scheduled deployment. Commissioned in 1981, Dallas is the first Los Angeles-class submarine to have a dry deck shelter (DDS). DDSs provide specially configured nuclear-powered submarines with a greater capability of deploying special operations forces (SOF). U.S. Navy photo by Mr. Paul Farley (RELEASED)
060923-O-0000X-001 Marinette, Wis. (Sept. 23, 2006) – The nation’s first Littoral Combat Ship, Freedom (LCS 1) – the inaugural ship in an entirely new class of U.S. Navy surface warships – makes a spectacular side launch during her christening at the Marinette Marine shipyard. The agile 377-foot Freedom -- designed and built by a team led by Lockheed Martin -- will help the U.S. Navy defeat growing littoral, or close-to-shore, threats and provide access and dominance in coastal water battle-space. Displacing 3,000 metric tons and with a capability of reaching speeds well over 40 knots, Freedom will be a fast, maneuverable and networked surface combatant with operational flexibility to execute focused missions, such as mine warfare, anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare and humanitarian relief.
