Finish Well

Last month, on Sunday evening, December 19, I was ordained as a minister following an ordaining council and ordination service at our church. Along with my family being there, one of the highlights of the evening was to go through the process with three friends (T.J. Earl, Michael Newman and Neal Thornton) with whom I've served on our church staff.

That evening, our Pastor Hollie Miller, shared a sermon (http://vimeo.com/18068955) of challenge and encouragement from II Timothy 4 that he titled "Finish Well". The sermon focused around 5 main points:

1. Always be ready to communicate the Word of God
2. Remember Whom I'm serving
3. Don't ever stop reading
4. Don't be discouraged by people
5. Just keep trusting God

It was an evening my family and I will always remember.
