Serve (With a Cheerful Attitude)

Serve

"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthian 9:6-7

Worship - Connect - Grow - Serve... this is the process the Lord showed us, so as to fulfill the Great Commission; which is to Go -- which is the very mission of our church, and which should be the mission of every church.

Our vision of "Experience God, Find Hope, Share Christ" wonderfully parallels this, as we line up our steps (the right steps) with what the Lord wants us to accomplish according to our strengths and our resources.

Our service is posited in the fact that it is given generously and freely. And this service includes our giving of ourselves, our love, our time, our talents and our treasure. With that mindset, let us pray and ask guidance from the Holy Spirit as we look on the service we give back to our Lord, and also as we reread and meditate on 2nd Corinthians 9 today.
