IT HAS NOT BEEN UNNOTICED

Oct 11, 2026  •  Bishop Vernon Thomas

What does it truly mean to serve with your whole heart? This message cuts straight to the core of that question, drawing from Colossians 3:22-24, where we are reminded that whatever we do, we are called to do it heartily, as unto the Lord and not unto men.


The challenge placed before us is both simple and sobering: our servant attitude must be clear and intentional, not driven by who is watching or how many people are in the room. When we adjust how we give, how we sing, or how we work based on the size of the crowd or the presence of certain people, we have slipped into what scripture calls eye service. True faithfulness does not fluctuate with the audience. It remains consistent whether we are seen or unseen, appreciated or overlooked.


The message also draws a striking parallel from Ecclesiastes 9:10, which urges us to do with our might whatever our hands find to do, because the opportunity to serve is not guaranteed forever. Together, these scriptures paint a picture of a servant who works not for applause but out of reverence for God. This is an invitation for us to examine the motivation behind everything we do in the kingdomand ask ourselves honestly whether we are serving God or performing for people.
