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 45:22-23, NIV, “Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.” Dear God, how great of you. Everything here on earth is temporary — money is, fame is, jewelry is, even us humans. It is only you Lord God who is eternal — your Kingdom, your will, your love. How beautiful it is to live in accordance with your will and laws where we can find true peace and justice. Thank you Lord God for sending down your beloved son Jesus Christ to save us all. Thank you for through Him, we are able to see more of you and your greatness. Help us to become a more faithful and honest servant of you. Help us to be more worthy of your goodness.

Philippians 3:20-21, NIV, “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” Dear God, keep us close to you. Govern our minds and hearts so whatever we may do be done in the glory and in honor of our savior Jesus Christ. One who forever reigns the heaven and earth. We will wait for His coming for we believe that we will be renewed and cleansed deserving a citizenship in heaven. For this, help us Oh Lord to find enlightenment in your words and that we may be able to put them into action. Grant us a kind, forgiving, honest, patient and loving heart so that we may proclaim your goodness sincerely and truthfully to everyone. Keep us strong for every test that challenges our faith and love in you. We trust in you Oh God always in every step of the way. Amen. Calvary Road Baptist Ch...

How to Be a Disciple in Today’s Manassas Baptist Church

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”Matthew 28:18-20 Today, we have a challenging question. Are you a true disciple of Jesus Christ or just a Christian? The Bible has passages that are the blueprint to those who claim that they are. By understanding what these writings mean, you will know what the Lord expects from you. But what makes a good disciple? Jesus knew what was in men's hearts. Today, a good disciple will take the initiative to listen to those around him or her. He or she will learn their names. He or she will take a keen interest in their everyday actions. A good disciple means to be a shepherd over the Lord's flock because discipleship goes beyond belief. It's the commitment to act, to speak, and to reach out to bring those lost back to the fold.
