Discover - Develop - Deploy

Are you deploying your ‘spiritual gifts?’ Feel stuck in an odd season?
What impact do you dream about? What gives you energy as you serve?
What availability can you carve out per week or per month?

YOUR UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION?

Did you know the Bible calls you a full partner in the family business? A vital teammate for Team success? A valued part of the Body – Jesus’ family & rescue plan? But sometimes we’re unsure where to start amidst busyness or unclear options or little guidance.

Our God gave you passions that can result in eternal impact!
The church is here to unleash that gift for your joy / others good!
You can use fresh tools to Discover + Develop + Deploy as He leads!
Some are starter roles & some flesh out Teams! Jesus is already
stirring some to serve in the community or fire-start a new ministry


Faith-goal of His fresh lead for 40+, as we pray these WHYs in May-June:

#1 Serving is a command. It’s Biblical (Gal. 5:13). Serving is not extra credit.

#2 Serving is better than mere words. It’s sweet worship (Rom 12:1).

#3 Serving is stewardship. It’s responsible (1 Peter 4:10). Jesus’ parable
of the talents shows that we each will give account for gifts given to us.

#4 Serving changes lives! It’s investing (Ephesians 4:ll-l2). God’s love
opens hearts, saves marriages, builds kids "as each part does its work."

#5 Serving brings meaning & permanent output. It’s purposeful! Rom 12:6

1 Corinthians 12

“Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to misunderstand. 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…”

Practical options to go from floodlight to a spotlight in SERVING:

A couple ‘Community Contributions’

One ‘UNIQUE Contribution’ What did God SHAPE you to do with passion?

We take time to UNLEASH people, not USE people!
