Why some of the best ministry flies under the radar

Some notes from a talk by Andrew Jones:

He started off by reflecting on how the Kingdom of God is like yeast (Matthew 13:33). As yeast is worked throughout the dough the yeast cells divide, yet it’s impact is what makes the bread rise and grow. This cell division is so small, microscopic, invisible to the human eye. For us, as members of God’s church, must not our actions also be almost secret and meek rather than proud and showy, just as Jesus warns against in Matthew 16:6 – also talking about yeast.

Also a great definition of ministry:

1. giving gifts
2. telling stories
3. throwing parties
4. making friends
