Big Idea:
God wants to do an “Extreme Makeover” in every person’s life so that they can do the good works He had prepared for them! He does this through giving Spiritual gifts to all who follow Jesus!
Scripture Memory:
Ephesians 2:10 (ESV)
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Action Step:
This week read Ephesians 2, 3 and 4, and also Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12!
Random Thoughts:
- Time Change coming this Sunday! Set your clocks forward one hour this Saturday evening!
- What an incredible Sunday gathering this past Sunday! I am so excited about “Bring It!” our new series on Spiritual gifts! I love Ephesians 2:1-10. God’s love, grace and mercy is mind-blowing!
- God already has good works prepared for me to do! We all must discover, develop, and deploy our spiritual gifts so we can walk in those good works! WOW!
- God uses pastors, teachers and leaders to equip the people in the church for ministry. It is not the pastors and teachers who should DO ALL the ministry. You and I are in this together! We ALL are ministers! That is why learning your spiritual gift and jumping in to serve is so important.
- We have the world’s greatest volunteers already! I am so thankful for the men and women, and the boys and girls that serve so faithfully to help us worship and glorify God and to reach out to people in our community with the love of Jesus!
- Volunteer of the quarter! Larry Pottsis an amazing servant of Jesus! I am so thankful for this man who helps set-up and breakdown EVERY week! He won’t read this because he doesn’t utilize the internet, so please tell him I bragged on him!
- I loved having theSkype interview with the Hardins this past Sunday! It was one of my favorite things we have done at CATG! Please pray for them. I look forward to having them with us in May when they are back home for a brief time.
