Why Be a Faithful Member of a Purcellville Baptist Church?

You tell yourself that you have a personal relationship with the Lord. Your private involvement with Him includes prayer, petition, study, and worship. But did you know that the Lord has given you a job? That is to be a part of the local community. Haven’t you assessed yourself on this level of involvement, which is to serve the Lord in Purcellville Baptist Church?  

Serving can be simple. Serving doesn’t have to be a complex process. It’s not about signing up for ministries in your age group and mission trips. If one ministry isn’t a fit, try to find one or two others where you feel you can belong and where you feel closer to God. Below, not listed in a specific way, are reasons to consider. Why should you involve yourself in the ministry? By getting involved, you'll discover that what you once viewed as a chore to actually be a blessing.

From the Beginning of Time, a Believer Is Given a Specific Purpose

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6

God has given you a spiritual gift. Take into consideration the passage above; it says of how God has uniquely favored you. As a believer, He gives you a distinct gift. Mind you, such a gift is not for your own benefit. What does this mean? It means God gave gifted people the duty to prepare the body of Christ. This is the purpose - to use this in the local church. You will then see an amazing growth take place for everyone in the congregation. 

You Are Placed in Church to Make His Name Known to All

"Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen." ... May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. Hebrews 13:21   

Sometimes, misconception blinds you, that those who are “called to served the Lord” are limited to a certain number of people. The minister, the deacon, and other members of the clergy.  But do you know what? It is written that everyone is called to serve others through the Lord. To be able to serve others will allow a person to discover and develop his/her spiritual gifts. This, in turn, is good for the soul and is the purpose of one’s salvation. Remember, to be inactive is like neglecting the reason the Lord called you in the first place.

The Lord doesn’t just call those who are equipped. He equips those who have heard his call. If you want to learn more about serving, call or visit Calvary Road Baptist Church. In this Purcellville Baptist Church, we can be like Him by committing to the transformation of our very homes, churches, communities, and the world. How does this happen? This happens when we love God, love His people, convert disciples, and make a difference.

John 1:32, 34, NIV, “Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him…I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.” Dear God, thank you for granting us the privilege to commune with your Holy Spirit. For this, we are able to live a life meant for you and you alone. For this as well, we are able to redeem ourselves through your son Jesus Christ. Guide us to a righteous way of glorifying your name. Direct our actions and govern our thoughts to only act according to your commandments and think not of evil but of good and kindness all the time. Teach us Oh Lord the ways to strengthen our bond with you so that in the end, we may be worthy of receiving your divine promises. May you bless us with your holiness and goodness, so that we may serve as lights for our brothers and sisters who lost their hopes and dreams. May your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Amen. Calvary Road Baptist Church – Purcellville B...

Psalm 145:1-2, NIV, “I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.” Almighty Father, we come before you today to give praise to your Holy Name. We lift up our grateful hearts to give you thanks for the life you created. We thank you ever loving God, for you never fail to show your infinite love for all of us. You have given your beloved son, Jesus Christ, to save us from our sins. We pray that you give us enough strength to resist temptations here on earth. Don’t let us stray away from you dear God. We pray that you govern our will and hearts to lead a path worthy of your love. We may stumble sometimes and blinded by the darkness of pain and suffering, but we know it is part of your divine plan and that you’ll never leave us alone. Because you are our One Great God, our strong defender, our source of light and courage. For this, I will proclaim and worship your Name in Spirit and in...
