Serving in God's House: A Journey of Transformation | Jeff Panknin

Rock City Church

Today, executive pastor Jeff Panknin shares a deeply personal message the Lord has laid on his heart: the transformative power of serving in the House of God... "The journey began with a realization that I wasn't the employee or person I thought I was. I used to be disrespectful, convinced I knew it all, until God started changing me through service. One of the most humbling experiences was writing a letter to the Chief Nursing Officer about management, thinking I knew best. But God, in His mercy, didn't promote me before I was ready. This process taught me that true leadership begins with servanthood, as modeled by Jesus. As I started serving as an usher, God began a profound change in me from the inside out. No task was too small—whether it was picking up trash, unclogging toilets, or dealing with vomit on the floor, I learned that service in God's house is a reflection of our heart's posture. Today, I want to explore how we can all catch this revelation and transform our focus outward, serving God by serving others, just as David's mighty men did through their faithful service to him..."
