What does truly God-honoring ministry look like? Here’s a hint: It involves less speaking and more doing! When Moses ordained Aaron and his sons to serve as the high priests of Israel, God directed him to place the blood of the ram sacrifice on their ears, thumbs, and toes. Through this instruction, God taught Aaron and his sons that ministering by listening, serving, and walking in obedience opens the door for us to speak the truth of God’s Word to hearts ready to hear its truth.

This week, we’re taking a look at another evil form of Jewish hatred: racial antisemitism. Chris shares an excellent explanation of this deadly sin that antagonizes the Jewish race.

What is a Christian’s responsibility? In the conclusion of our series on Colossians, we learn that God wants us not to sit back idly but to actively participate in our faith after we receive His gift of salvation by grace through faith. We are called to clothe ourselves with God’s character and nature—His love, compassion, mercy, patience, and forgiveness. May we follow this command as we fix our eyes on Jesus Christ’s supremacy and focus our hearts on a passionate pursuit of Him!
