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.
