To Contribute

Ephesians 3:7-12

We should not look to get something from church, but to contribute to the church.

Consumer Contributor

Consumers are spectators. Contributors are participants.

Consumers see themselves as cisterns to store truth. Contributors see themselves as channels to share blessings.

A consumer comes to "sit and get." A contributor looks to go and serve.

A consumer only takes in for themselves. A contributor pours out to others.

Community

1 Corinthians 12:27-28

Care for other believers, and for yourself when needed.

Share burdens - Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who Rejoice, Weep with those who Weep

Pray for our pastors:

Health (mental and physical)

Attacks from Satan

Wisdom to share Gospel correctly

Wisdom to lead our ministries

Wisdom to lead people like us (church)

Encouragement

Evangelize

Luke 6:43-45 We share from an abundance of our love for Jesus!

Because we have been SO loved by Jesus, we should want to share that love with others

Individually – family, friends, coworkers, Social Media
