Calling All Servants!!!

God didn’t call some of us to serve.

(Romans 12:3-5)

(The Apostle Paul)

As God’s messenger I give you this warning: be honest in your estimate of yourselves, measuring your value by how much faith God has given you. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are ALL part of His one body and EACH (not some) of us has different work to do. And since we are ALL one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others. (You simply won’t know how you can make a difference until you do it!) There are people everywhere that can be helped by your God-given gift!!!!!

He wants ALL of us to serve His Kingdom!

(1st Corinthians 12:7) A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church. It is in our DNA!

We might stop searching or hoping for blessings in our life. God wants us to be a blessing by giving, rather than receiving.

My hope is that you will volunteer where you are needed.

That is always good, but if we are to become an inspirational and exceptional church:

We must search for and find that joy that God put in our hearts.

We must discern “that gift” that raises our pulse and gives us energy.

We must plan, pray and begin taking steps to fulfill our mission to serve.

We must do it for the right reasons.

We must stay in faith and listen to what God is asking of us.

And most important we must serve to glorify His holy name.
