Blessed to be a blessing...

"We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. We remember our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." -
1 Thessalonians 1:2-3

This week's theme is Christian Service. We are going to share the stories of some of those who faithfully serve our church. I love the above verse because it shows how Paul encouraged his congregations in their service. Paul believed that "whatever we do, whether in word or deed" we should "do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Colossians 3:17)

So, this week, as you go about your normal average daily jobs, ask yourself:

How am I serving God through this job?
How can I give thanks to God through my work?

I pray that you may be able to find special ways to serve God this week.

Genesis 12:2 states that the only reason we are blessed is to be a blessing to others. Chosen not for reward but for service.
