Easter at Southview | Seeking Active Participants
This week, Pastor Nathan Wakefield begins our Easter at Southview series. In Luke 9:1-17, we learn that we are not passive observers of God’s plan, and simultaneously, it is all the work of God. This is the tension in which we must serve and celebrate. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.

A Job: Jesus gives His disciples work to do (9:1-6).
• They were equipped for the job (1-2).
• They were to focus on the mission (3-5).
• They did what they were told (6).
Action Step: Examine where Christ has clearly called you to serve — and do it.

Confusion: Active service of the Savior is intriguing to the world but not necessarily transforming (7-11).
• Herod found the work of the disciples worth his curiosity but nothing more (7-9).
• The disciples found the work worth reporting (10).
• The crowds found the work of Jesus to be worth their pursuit (11).
Action Step: Evaluate your state. Where are you on this spectrum?

Unrelenting: Active participation in the work of Christ can be unrelenting at times, but that is often when the reward comes (12-17).
• At the end of the day, the disciples were very aware of physical limitations (12-13).
• But physical limitations are not limitations for Jesus (14-16).
• And so all reaped the rewards of God who loves (17).
Action Step: When service feels unrelenting, do not retreat.
