Ch. 332 - A Final Exam

These are notes from the second service I attended yesterday, at which our newly appointed bishop, Bishop Trimble, spoke.

We all matter to God and we should also matter to the Church.
However... there will either be eternal life or eternal punishment for our decisions, responses, and actions that we have made throughout our lives.

"Well done, good and faithful servant."
Keep that in mind.
Always.

Where is your vision for victory?
Where is your passion for service?

Faithfully focus on rebuilding, renewing, rejoicing.
Invest in new ministries.
Tell the stories of Jesus.

Rise to your highest potential.
Set high expectations.
After all, God does so [out of love].

Reach new people with new context.
Sometimes it takes thinking out of the box and trying different concepts to get your point across and save the lost.

Give hope [and love] with your
prayers,
presence,
gifts,
service,
and witness.

The power behind us is greater than the task before us.


' "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left." '
[Matthew 25:31-33]

Be a sheep.
