Sermon Video: "we have only done our duty" - Luke 17:7-10

What is our relationship with God?  We are his workers, but does that make God our boss and us him employees?  The nature of the relationship between God, the king of the universe, and mortal man is not really like that of a boss and an employee, rather it is like the relationship between a master and a servant (or even a slave).  We may prefer to think of ourselves as God's freelance independent contractors, but we most certainly are not, we are his servants.  What God commands we must do.  God is owed honor, praise, and service, when we fulfill that obligation God is does not owe us recompense in return for we can never repay our debt that God has forgiven.  We have been assigned a task, as the people who constitute the Church, to spread the Gospel and advance the Kingdom of God.  This is our calling, and we must answer it.  Let us never forget, God is God, and we are not.  It is God's will that must be done, it is his kingdom that one day will come.  Our response, our obligation, is to simply do our duty as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
