Using Your Gifts for the Kingdom of God

Over the last several days I have been rejoicing to watch people using their gifts to build the Kingdom of God. It's been awesome to see! Here's a few of the things I've noticed:
  • Today the church was filled with grinning ladies gathered to quilt...including doing a quilt for an upcoming baby dedication. Then they were busy working on some decorations for the new building.
  • A talented guy with a passion for men's minsitry is starting a men's group. Everyone involved is pumped up!
  • Some of our servant-hearted women were busy putting a luncheon together for a funeral Sunday afternoon.
  • A youth worker shared the gospel with a bunch of teens over ice cream at the DQ.
  • One of our elders talked to an elderly woman who called looking for money for food. He had the chance to share the gospel and used the Benevolent Fund to purchase groceries.

I could go on and on, but there is something special going on here. I am convinced that as people discover a relationship with Christ and begin to understand their purpose in His Kingdom something special happens: They blossom!
