Men's Sunday School Teacher: Dennis Porter
Service
Summer is finished, fall has begun. It is a time of physical, mental and spiritual renewal. Most won’t have to do much to prepare for this process, while some will make drastic changes. Spiritually, it is the time of the year in most Baptist churches where all the church members are asked to be infused into the functions and operations of the church.
In Ephesians 4:7, Paul talks about the measure of Christ’s gift to each of us. To each of us He has given a measure of grace. This measure of grace includes His spiritual gifts to us. We can read about these special gifts in Ephesians 4:11-16, in Romans 12:6-8, in I Corinthians 12:7-30 and in I Peter 4:10-11. Each section contains a different set of gifts. It is fair to assume that these are not the only gifts He has given to His children.
I would ask that each of you prayerfully seek the gift or gifts God has given you. During this period of time, try to match your gift with one or more of the many areas of service needed in church this year. If you can drive a van, drive a van. If you can be an usher, be an usher. If you can be a prayer warrior, be a prayer warrior. The church needs many people to serve in a variety of ways to continue the ministry of Oak Grove. Seek how God would have you serve in this church. You will be blessed, God’s church will be blessed, and God will be glorified!
See you in Sunday School. We have a place just for you.
In Truth and Love
