In today’s world, the word service
doesn’t usually carry with it the most positive connotations.
To most, serving means giving away… our time, our energy,
our sympathies- and these may not always be things we like
to part with. But as Christ followers, we are called to be
a people set apart. As true and faithful believers, we are
all “servants” of Jesus, and the ultimate service
we can do for God is to cultivate a heart and a passion to
do our part to care for all of God’s creatures.
Opportunity!
Jesus Christ, the ultimate servant, came to serve, not to
be served, and we are called to do the same. But Christ’s
call to service means more to us than the occasional activity;
it’s a lifestyle. Our hope is to educate our family
of believers to live a “missional life,” best
communicated by our missional aim: GO across the street, across
the city, across the border and across the ocean. Praying
with a hurting person, sharing resources with someone who
is financially distressed, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ
with someone who does not know Him YET … these are all
examples of genuine missional living.
New Harvest Church offers a range of different opportunities
to serve, within our Church family and local community, to
spreading the Word of God and becoming “fishers of men”
– throughout the World. Explore these possibilities
and discover ways in which to live out faithfully the purpose
that God has for you! |
