| Serving
God takes place through a lifestyle of expressing the love of
God in practical ways. We suggest the following steps to
assist you in fulfilling this part of the process:
1.
Start Somewhere-One of the biggest steps in serving is to get
past all the initial concerns and fears we have and simply
start serving somewhere.
2. Discover Your Design-As we
serve, we notice specific talents and passions God has
equipped us with. By investigating our design, we can better
understand what service God has designed us for.
The following web site can assist you in
discovering both your personality type, spiritual giftedness
and how combined you God has equipped you to serve Himself. Next Level Leadership is
a part of the North American Mission Board and its goal is to
assist churches and their members in discovering the
giftedness of its members. There is a fee of $22 to complete
the test, but it is well worth the investment.
After creating a logon, click purchase
profile and then walk through the questions. Upon completion,
you will receive a report that assists you in discovering
where God may want you to serve. We encourage you when you
receive these reports to forward a copy to the whbch so that we can further
assist you in discovering where you can plug in.
3. Serve Weekly at Church- The
church rely's on its members to be the body of Christ and each
do their part. By serving each week, we have the blessing of
blessing others with the Love of God.
4. Stay Aware-Opportunites to
serve others with God's love are everywhere. Many times we
miss them because we do not constantly look for opportunities
as they arise in our daily interactions with
others.
5. Meet Others Greatest Need-
While meeting others needs practically, we must always stay
aware that Jesus Christ is their greatest need. Sharing Christ
with others and then helping them progress through the three
step process is our ultimate goal.
