God Saved You to Serve


Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’ grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God.  If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen - 1 Peter 4:10-11

How should you serve? 

Serve by showing love. 
Serve by feeding the homeless 
Serve by giving Serve by forgiving 
Serve by getting together with family and friends and fellowshipping. 

God Saved You To Serve. 

Serve by praying for one another. 

God Saved You To Serve. 

Serve those who are sick. 
Serve those who need a helping hand. 

God Saved You To Serve 

Serve others in different ways 
Serve those who need a listening ear. 
Serve those in the way the Lord puts on your heart to serve. 

And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household. God saved you to serve, God saved you to serve to do his will, so what will you do to serve? First by Thanking God Who Saved You To Serve! Amen. - Acts 16:31 

Thank you Lord for using your son Everett Pope to preach the words you have given him and to me as well. We thank you God for saving us to serve. Praise God.

You Don't Know Their Story. What You Will See is God's Glory.

  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. - Psalm 46:1 Let me tell you about a man, a woman, a child, this could be you, we don't know.   You don't know their story but what you will see is God's glory. Let me tell you about the pain, the hurt, the abuse they received from someone they knew, a family member, a friend, maybe even you. You don't know their story, what you will see is God's glory. Let me tell you about a man whom you may have heard of who Fed five thousand people, some who were children, with five loaves of bread and two fish. Remember the person who saw you and asked you for money to get something to eat saying: "can you help me please?" You don't know their story, what you will see is God's glory. You don't know who God will use to bless you. You don't know how God will use your story of what you went through but what you will see is God's glory. Let me tell you about the heart God gave you to ca

Be Strong, Surrender and Rest!

  Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light . - Matthew 11:28-30 (CSB) When faced with problems, our instinct often drives us to take control and tightly manage every aspect, believing that doing so will help resolve the issue. However, this approach can lead to increased anxiety and foster an environment where fear grows. Clinging tightly to control, can worsen the situation, making it more exhausting and complex, ultimately causing us to stall rather than progress. It's important to recognize that our efforts to control everything might be counterproductive. Instead, relinquishing our grip and placing our trust in God's plan can bring peace and clarity. By surrendering control and leaning into our faith, we allow space for God to work in our lives and address our

Love Not Like

Image
As Christians, we must never forget how important love is. Christianity truly is a religion of love. You can probably judge how much a person adheres to the Faith by how loving they actually are. The Bible is clear on this. 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 says: 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. For anyone who has read the Bible, this should be an amazing pass
