Sermon Summary: Your Role as a Church Member – Part 2

Preacher: Rev. Nana Dankwah
Date: June 2025
Church: Laikos Manhattan Branch, NYC

In this powerful continuation of the Your Role as a Church Member series, Rev. Nana Dankwah outlines the essential responsibilities of every believer in the body of Christ. The message emphasizes that Christianity is not passive—it is active, sacrificial, and purpose-driven. Through Romans 12, 1 Thessalonians 5, and other scriptures, Rev. Dankwah identifies seven core responsibilities every member must embrace to help build a healthy and flourishing church community.

Key Takeaways

1. Be Faithful

Faithfulness is a non-negotiable in the Christian walk. Whether it’s attending services, participating in ministry, or supporting church initiatives—consistency matters.

2. Be Stable

Spiritually mature believers are rooted. Stability in one’s local church prevents spiritual confusion and helps foster long-term growth.

3. Tithe and Give Offerings

Giving is an act of worship. Our finances, time, and resources come from God and should be returned to Him as a demonstration of faith and gratitude.

4. Use Your Gifts and Talents

Every member has a role. Whether you sing, teach, greet, or encourage—your gifts are vital to the mission and growth of the church.

5. Honor Your Pastors

Scripture commands believers to know, love, and esteem their leaders highly for their work’s sake. Honoring your pastor invites blessing and unity.

6. Pray for Your Leaders

Pastors face spiritual battles daily. Your prayers strengthen them and deepen your own spiritual connection to the church’s mission.

7. Bear Fruit and Win Souls

Evangelism is everyone’s responsibility. Jesus appointed every believer to bear lasting fruit—inviting others to church and sharing the gospel is central to our faith.

“Let God see your faithfulness. Your reward is not from man—it is from the Lord.” – Rev. Nana Dankwah
