Each one of us is an important part of our Christian community
for we each bring special gifts to the Body of Christ. All congregations go
through ups and downs through out their life span. Attendance varies through
out the year. Bible Studies come and go. Sometimes the congregation is growing
and sometimes it is slipping. What can we do as individual members of our
church bring to make it better?
We can each bring our positive faith in Jesus Christ instead
of bringing negative fear when we gather for worship or meetings. We can face
each problem of the future with a sense of purpose and mission for Jesus the
Christ. We can bring a word of encouragement to the fellow member who is trying
hard to serve the Lord rather than complain about the way its being done.
We can bring the kind of strength and courage that comes
from knowing Jesus as our savior and following Jesus as a disciple. Do not have
illusions, we as Christians are not protected from illness, tragedy, stress and
depression. It is our faith in God that provides us with the power to get
through anything.
We can bring to our community faith life the kind of
faithfulness to the eternal call of God in Jesus that brings good things to
every day and every situation.
Ministry + Mission + Purpose = a church moving forward for
Jesus the Christ.
