The true measure of the Christian life is not in mere knowledge or religious practices, but in having a heart that genuinely bears God’s burden for the souls of men. This is the calling of every believer. Yet, far too often, our priorities are misplaced and we drift from this divine assignment. With grace, commitment and reordered priorities, we can fulfill our God-given purpose.
In this series, Pastor Jeffrey Walter explores the divine purpose of life, highlighting the importance of aligning with God’s will and prioritising the pursuit of our highest calling: impacting the souls of men.
In this episode, “Lovest Thou Me?”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter exposes what should be a believer’s foremost priority and reveals the ultimate sign that truth is alive in a person— feeding the Lord’s sheep. He shows how to identify one’s core pursuit or ruling love and provides practical steps a person can follow to change his or her ruling love to caring for the souls of men. Pastor Walter encourages steadfast commitment to this divine purpose, reminding us that abundant grace has been made available for this journey.
May the Lord help you to make feeding His sheep your highest aspiration.
