You may not serve directly in your church. However, become a part of the ongoing building of the global church by seeing and glorifying Jesus in all that you do.
Some people in your team may be misbehaving. Don’t worry about their attitude or your pain. Cleanse them by preaching the Word constantly. If you like, don’t even focus on pointing out their faults.

Until they parted ways, Abraham never saw the promised land by revelation. Don’t carry unnecessary load on you when obeying God; it’ll be a distraction later on.
When the Earth flooded after the downpour and the dove Noah sent out on the third occasion never came back, everything showed that he can move out of the ark. But he still waited until God told him to move out with his family (Genesis 8:14-16). Your knowledge doesn’t override God’s leadership over your life. Submit to Him.
Love shares without any fear of loss. Desire and work on transparency in your relationships, especially in marriage. Be accountable to each other so that the devil will not suggest evil thoughts of mistrust in your partner’s mind.
