Bodybuilding
When I was a child I played a lot of basketball, and honestly, I was good. When I grew up, I thought I was going to play basketball professionally. I was filled with potential and dreamed of playing in the NBA. Those dreams were crushed by my older, wiser, cousin when I was 12 years old. He said I had a better chance of winning the lottery than playing for the Supersonics, or any other team for that matter. Who knew I would actually grow up to be a “bodybuilder?”
It’s hard to tell by looking at me, but yes, I am a bodybuilder. Guess what? If you are a true believer in Christ, you are a bodybuilder as well!
“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,” [Ephesians 4:11-12]
How are you building up the body of Christ here at LTCC? The building of the body is not just for the so called “professionals” but is for all the believers. When you came to faith in Christ, he equipped you for ministry by the Holy Spirit! Wow!
At our member’s meeting on Sunday, we heard updates from the various ministry leaders at our church. God is doing a great work here, and He is calling you to be a part of it! Please join us on the journey with Jesus as we pray, grow, give, and go!
NEW! Ministry Minute
IS GOD CALLING YOU?
Council Clerk
We heard at our recent member meeting about several ministry opportunities that need to be filled. I know it’s easy to think that God will call someone else to fulfill these needs. Or to think, I’m not the most qualified so I shouldn’t even consider doing it. Before I became the church clerk, I was unsure if I was the best qualified person for this position. But I was reminded that when God called his disciples none of them said, “find someone else more qualified”, or “I’m too busy.”
Instead, they immediately followed him.
Let’s purpose to listen to God’s call and promptings, with the intention of saying, “yes, Lord”. Yes, I am willing to…..help in the nursery, join the worship team - whatever God asks of you. I’m glad I followed Gods call to be the church clerk and I can’t wait to see how the Lord uses each of us in 2025!
