May Focus of the Month
Student Ministries Serving Need
As our high school and middle school ministries grow, so does our need for leaders. We are in need of leaders who are willing to commit to faithfully serving every Sunday evening from 5-7:30pm, and events when possible. What this will look like is helping to lead a small group; and prioritizing discipleship through meaningful relationships. Please ask members of your life group to prayerfully consider serving in this ministry. Those that are interested can fill out the serve form here.
Application Questions:
A Distinct Church
We Have Highly Committed Participants
1 Peter 4:8-11
Read Ephesians 4:11-16. As you think about this ideal picture and the totality of this sermon, how would you like to see yourself grow as someone who contributes to a growing, healthy church body?
Read Colossians 3:12-14. While these verses sound so good, why is it often so difficult to practice things like “patience,” “bearing with one another,” and “forgiving one another”? How should the reminder that you are “holy and beloved” help motivate you?
Read 1 Peter 4:9. How can you work to avoid the grumbling that will inevitably be a temptation as you are inconvenienced as you seek to serve others?
Read 1 Peter 4:10-11. How would you evaluate your own stewardship of the role God is calling you to play in the body? Consider what you are doing to serve others and how you are going about doing it. How would you like to grow in faithful stewardship of your gift?
Read 1 Corinthians 10:31. How should a desire for God to be glorified practically affect your attitude and actions in your own local church body?
