Introduction:
1. Recently I received a note in the suggestion box that reads: “A sermon on Are We Doing God’s Will? Or Are We Lukewarm or Have We Left Our First Love? We should find a work no matter how small or great and do it with all our might. Yes we hear this over and over and over but do we think the Lord is not talking to each and every one of us? It seems that we think and act as if we think someone else will do that task hence it usually doesn’t get done.”

1) It reveals this concern in a way that I cannot.
2) It is a powerful call to Christian service.
