God has been gracious to each one of us, calling us to gratefully live for him. He has also given each of us gifts and strengths to use in ministry. Paul describes the church as a body with each part interdependent of the other (1 Corinthians 12). Peter tells us that when we serve using our gifts we are administering God’s grace in its various forms (1 Peter 4:10). Jesus promises us the Holy Spirit and said that he has called us for the purposes of bearing lasting fruit (John 15:16).

 

Some of the ways we serve in the church is through common service (e.g. groups taking turns with Celebration Sunday lunch). Sometimes we do this as individuals in ways that no one knows about (Matthew 6:3). Some of the service we do is with others in various ministry teams or large group events. Regardless of how we serve, we are always so to bring glory to God.
