Guarding Against Ministry Idolatry
Learn to love Jesus more than the work you do for Him by recognizing and removing idolatry from your calling over 7 insightful days.
📖 Introduction
Ministry is a calling, a sacred trust, and a profound privilege. However, men serving in ministry often face a subtle and dangerous challenge: the temptation to idolize their work instead of Christ Himself. This Bible study plan is designed to help you identify and guard against ministry idolatry. It's not just about what we do for God, but whom we love above all else.
Idolatry isn't always about worshiping graven images; it can be about elevating anything—work, approval, success—above our devotion to Jesus. For men in ministry, this can manifest as pride in accomplishments, anxiety over performance, or a misplaced identity tied only to their role. These idols choke the life and calling God intended.
Throughout this seven-day journey, we’ll thoughtfully explore God’s Word to understand how to keep Jesus first—above our duties, gifts, and even our deepest desires to serve. You will be encouraged to examine your heart, renew your focus, and reclaim the joy of loving and serving Christ purely and fully.
Prepare to journey deep into Scripture, challenge misconceptions, and embrace a love for Jesus that outshines every ministry task. This is a call back to the heart of ministry—cherishing Jesus over His work. Together, let's learn to serve with passion but worship with devotion.
