And we’re off…
With the start-up of choir last week, the fall seems to have begun in earnest for our Worship Ministries. The WVU students having arrived back in town to begin classes and public school starting later this week will continue to increase our awareness of that reality. As we enter a new season, I have one question for you, “How will you live the call?”
We are going to be affirming our desire to “live the call together” in many ways over the next few weeks as we head into Missions Conference 2005. There will be signs around the church indicating that help is wanted, with an encouragement to “apply within”. What areas of ministry will you be applying yourself to? I hope this is a season when you will be singing in the choir or playing in the orchestra, but more importantly, I hope you are applying yourself internally “to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven.” (Philippians 3:14)
We all have a part to play in completing the grand task that Jesus has given us, His Church, to do. We should all be praying and giving and going and sending. There are expressions of each of those that we can all do. May the ministry of worship we share be a tool in the hands of the Holy Spirit as He stirs first our hearts to be involved, and then the hearts of all who hear it.
I you have yielded your heart to Jesus as your Savior, then let Him continue the sanctifying work He has begun. Bow to Him everyday and ask Him how He wants to use you to advance His kingdom. There may be a heart yet today that is ready to yield to him if you will but speak the words the Lord has for you to say. You have heard the call, now live it.
IN CHRIST,
Pastor Scott
