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.

Isaiah 32:15-17, NIV, “…till the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest. The Lord’s justice will dwell in the desert, his righteousness live in the fertile field. The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.” Dear God, as you pour down your Holy Spirit upon us all, we may fully receive it and grow beautifully in faith and in love to you. Help us prosper in righteousness and confidence in spreading the good news and gathering disciples. Through this, we will come us one influencing peace and eliminating wars among nations; celebrating your greatness in one banquet; ending evil and laying out kindness. How beautiful it is Oh Lord to live in your presence alone. We lay everything in your hands because we believe in your divine will and plans. Let us find hope and rest as we pray in silence and sing with all our hearts in glorifying your name. Grant us...

Romans 14:7-9, NIV, “For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.” Dear God, I am yours — all of me, everything I have and may have belonged only to you. Because you are our creator, our eternal God. I will not fear if everyone turns their backs and walk away from me because I believe and I know that you will stay by my side. You are my one greatest friend and my living God. I live for you Lord God and I die only for you. May I come in unity with Jesus Christ our Saviour. Bind us as one so that we may be directed to live a life here on earth in accordance with your will and celebrate eternal life in heaven later on. Our Father Almighty, remember your people. We put our trust in you. Amen. Calvary Road Ba...

How to Let the Words Taught By the Baptist Church Dwell in You

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord,and on his law he meditates day and night.For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. - Psalm 1:1-3 Living the life according to the teachings of the Bible and the Baptist Church is a continuous life transformation. This is done with the words of God implanted in you through church attendance and bible readings. But how do we develop a mindset that is biblical? With a worldview made up of attitudes and instincts that will lead you as an effective witness of God? The words that the Baptist Church has taught us should make its home in us. These words come from the Bible, a living book. Make the words that come from it - LIVE INSIDE OF YOU! Let the Words Enlighten You Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called...
