Happy 2008! Blessings to all by the grace of our Lord, Jesus!
When we intentionally release and empower the people of OCC to do ministry, both that person and the members of the congregation discover something very remarkable: Satisfying service is an incredible fringe benefit of being a part of our church family. The fringe benefit of service is usually discovered in the gratitude of someone you have served in the name of Jesus.
As we prayerfully search and wait for God to reveal to us who our new Senior Pastor will be at OCC, it may sound scary to you to consider that God may be asking you to step up and become a part of OCC’s church ministry. But just imagine what our church would look like if every member was truly a minister for Christ.
If you are hearing the call to serve and partner with us, to THRIVE, let us plant these seeds of encouragement. Remember:
1) Everyone has a place! God has prepared a place for everyone in our church. Wait for Him and ask Him where He wants you to serve. Look for the miracle that God has in mind for you. ” No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.” (I Corinthians2:9)
2) Everyone has a gift! Each person is uniquely gifted and qualified for the opportunities that God will set before you. Remember, God doesn’t call the qualified….He qualifies the called.
3) Everyone has a dream! Encourage others to get in touch with God’s dreams for them!
Having a part in introducing others to the saving knowledge of Christ, and then helping them to grow spiritually is the greatest joy you will ever know.
Let us thank God for bringing us here, together, at Owensboro Christian Church. Let us forever look forward to the blessings that our God extends to us here. We thank God that His Holy Spirit ministers to our hearts as the King of all Senior Pastors.
