Celebrate Jesus!
Pastor Tom Joyce
October 17, 2022
“The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according the labor of each. For we are God’s servants, working together; God’s fields, God’s building.”
I Corinthians 3:1-9
It may be a bit over a month away, but Thanksgiving dinner can be a big event that requires a community effort; some work on the salad, others the turkey, still others the dressing, and the pie-bakers cannot be left out. Everyone does their part for one purpose, to feed those gathered for the thanksgiving celebration. So it is with the church; everyone is needed and has something they have been called by God to share. The common purpose of every member of the church family is to proclaim Jesus Christ, who offers hope, joy, peace, and grace upon grace to all God’s children. Everyone’s calling is an important component to the ministry of Jesus Christ. You are important to the ministry; you offer a gift nobody else has, your faith. When you witness your faith, it is not for your benefit but “for the glory of God.” (Romans 15:7) When you rise to the calling of Jesus to “follow [him],” you will share the hope you have received from God. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13)
