They were entrusted to supervise the work on behalf of the Lord and in His temple. The Levites were already highly regarded as priests in their own right. They also assisted the priests in the temple and they also were overseers of the collection of the funds (2 Kings 12:9, 23:4 2 Chronicles 34:9). When we grow in our relationship to the Lord, we also should have some reverence to our view of God and in our worship of Him. There should be, for us, a value when we approach the Lord. They made sure that the proper reverence was used in worship of the Lord when entering the temple. They were the overseers that David had assigned for service at the gates in the Lord’s temple. Ushers originated from the Levites (2 Chronicles 8:14, 23:18-19). They were the ones who made it possible for the speaker to be heard (not allowing disruptions in the room) They were in charge of who to admit or permit into the buildingĦ. They directed individuals to their proper placeĥ. They went before high-ranking people to clear their wayĤ. The word is derived from ush, meaning “to enter into.”ģ. The word usher is referred to in the Bible as a gatekeeper, doorkeeper or simply a keeper. God rewards us for our service when we live faithfully in our service for Him. “ So the Lord repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight” (Psalm 18:24).Hebrews 10:23-24 – Our role is to encourage them to continue on with their work.1 Corinthians 3:11-14, 9:25 – They do it for crowns that will last forever.As the recipients of the service provided by ushers, we will explore what they do for us and see the value of their service from a biblical perspective. As we take the time to thank the Lord for their service, it is our desire that you will see that their work is truly for the Lord, Jesus Christ and His church. Ushers play an important role in our church. There are many roles of service for persons within the body of Christ.
