“Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, This is what applies to the Levites: From twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to perform the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting. And from the age of fifty years they shall retire from the service in the work and shall serve no more. But they may minister to their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to keep the charge, but they themselves shall do no service” (Num. 8:23b-26). This week we begin a new series titled, “Being Engaged in the Lord’s Service,” with speaking from brother Minoru Chen on taking responsibility for the services in the church. This fellowship was given during a gathering for working saints at the 2016 Memorial Day conference in Washington, D.C.

“A proper Christian life has three aspects: fighting the good fight against Satan and his kingdom of darkness for the interests of God’s kingdom; running the course for the carrying out of God’s economy according to His eternal purpose; and keeping the faith for participation in the divine riches in God’s economy. In this Paul set up an adequate pattern for us.” (Witness Lee, Holy Bible Recovery Version, 2 Tim. 4:7, note 1, Living Stream Ministry)  This week we conclude the special series titled, “Becoming a Timothy for the Lord’s Recovery,” with speaking from brother Ron Kangas encouraging us to finish the course measured out for us and to be poured out as a drink offering for God’s satisfaction and the saints’ delight. This is the last of six messages given at a college conference in Tuolumne, California in October 2001.

“But in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels but also wooden and earthen; and some are unto honor, and some unto dishonor.

“A person who knows how to work will always seek to perfect others. This does not mean that he does less work. Rather, he works more than the rest of the saints, because most of his work is to perfect the saints. After he has served for three to five years, the saints can do and are doing whatever he can do. This is the way for us to build up the church.” (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1958, vol. 1, p. 131, Living Stream Ministry) This week we continue the series titled, “The Goal of Our Christian Life,” with speaking from brother Andrew Yu on the importance of perfecting others for the Lord’s work.
