Above and Beyond the Call of Duty | Luke 17:7-10 | Pastor Jon Nettesheim
In our culture, we are often taught to do the bare minimum and expect maximum praise. We are quick to applaud our own efforts but slow to recognize the work of others. But what does the Bible say about our work ethic—and more importantly, our service to the Lord?

Join Pastor Jon Nettesheim at Elizabeth City Baptist Church as we study Luke 17:7-10. In this parable, Jesus reminds us that completing our required duties doesn't make us "extraordinary"—it simply makes us faithful. True greatness in the Kingdom of God isn't found in meeting the minimum requirements; it’s found in going "above and beyond."

In this message, we address:

The Foundation of Work: Why we are hired to serve our employers, not the other way around.

The "Unprofitable" Trap: Why doing only what is expected of you—whether at work or in your walk with God—does not warrant special recognition.

The Art of Self-Correction: Why we must become harder on ourselves and quicker to recognize the hard work of those around us.

Service vs. Self-Preservation: Are you looking for the "easy" way to serve God? If your service only happens when it’s comfortable or rejection-free, you are missing the call of a disciple.

The Urgency of the Hour: Drawing from Hebrews 10:25, we discuss why we should be gathering more, serving more, and laboring more as we see the day of Christ’s return approaching.

Stop looking for the path of least resistance. God is looking for servants who are willing to go the extra mile. Will you be a profitable servant today?
