MINISTRY
God made you for something special!
Matthew 22: (37)Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind.' (38)This is the first and
grea
test
commandment.
(39)And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as
yourself.' (40)All the Law and the Prophets hang on
these two commandments."
We
are not successful until we teach you how to minister.
The UMC believes in the “’royal priest-hood
of all believers.”
That means you!
What God made you to BE determines what He
intends for you to DO.
We want to help and encourage you in finding
your place within our church.
This is the secret of knowing God’s will for
your life! God is consistent in His plan for each of
our lives. He would not give us inborn talents and
temperaments, spiritual gifts, and all sorts of life
experiences and then not use them! By reviewing and
studying these factors, we can discover the ministry
God has for us... the unique way God intends for us to
serve Him.
How
has God Shaped Me?
"Your hands formed and shaped me..." Job
10:8a (GN)
God has been molding and shaping you for ministry
since you were born. In fact, God started uniquely
shaping you even before you were born!
"Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is
marvelous... You were there while I was being
formed... You saw me before I was born and scheduled
each day of my life before I began to breathe."
Psalm 139:14-16 (LB)
