So how did you serve in a volunteer role at church this past weekend? Or during the week preceding?
Perhaps you helped with a church-related community service project such as Habitat for Humanity or acting as a Scout sponsor.
That’s good, too.
Ephesians 2:10 says that we were created in Christ Jesus so that we could do good works.
Jesus came to serve.
And so should we.
Luke 22:37 records Jesus’ words about serving, given at the Last Supper.
“For I am among you as One who serves.”
When you think about your participation level this week at church, please envision yourself moving beyond the minimum of attendance and faith-testing offerings. If you’re already active in a volunteer ministry that demonstrates and deepens your faith on a weekly basis, thank you.
The Gallup polling organization reported that 50 percent of people attending church have not taken on any volunteer role.
We Christians can do better.
Our Savior deserves better.
Please show Him the sincerity of your faith.
Be among your church family as one who serves.
You just might inspire one of the non-serving 50 percent to step across the line into a more obedient, more fruitful faith.
As always, I love you
Martin
