Did you ever like having to sit out? I never wanted to come out of a game and didn't want to sit on the bench for 1 second. As Christians, we should be the same way. Don't be satisfied by sitting on the bench. Jesus wasn't! Jesus said in Matthew 20:28, 'just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,...' If we are going to follow after Jesus then we need to be ready to serve. We learn in the book of James that faith without works is dead (James 2:26). Not to say that we are saved by works, we are saved by the grace of God and only by the grace of God through Jesus Christ. What James is telling us is that we live out our faith by our actions. So are you ready? Where do we start? The best way to find your place of service is to discover your spiritual gifts. If you don't already know what your spiritual gifts are, get with me Sunday morning and I will have a survey that you can fill out that will help you find them. Let's get in the game and become more like Christ as we serve Him.
David
