A perfect church or a dream church would be one where everyone is actively accomplishing God’s plan for the lives and their ministries.
hey
Last week, Keith talked about connection...

People need to feel connected to something--to feel a part of something bigger than themselves.
hey

Do we as a church provide the opportunity for individual and corporate spiritual growth? Are we as church members taking every opportunity that is available to grow in our knowledge of Christ?

We are not called to make converts, but disciples.

The word disciple means “a learner” it literally means “thought followed by endeavor”.

To learn and then to do what you have learned.
If we only take in and don’t give out what we have learned, we are cheating those who could benefit from our life experience and knowledge.
The difference between last week, connect and this week Grow, is this.

Connect is about relationships. Having relationships is vital to keeping people connected to God and fellowship with the local church.

Grow is about belief and behavior. If you have connections and relationships but you have no growth, then you are only partially blessed.
hey

We have CONNECTION to friends & family, we have GROWTH in our spiritual walk, now let’s look at SERVE.

If you have a gift or ability and you are not using it to help others, you are not doing your job.

We are not to come to God’s house to be entertained. We are all called to serve in some capacity.
We will never hear a word from the Lord if someone isn’t obedient to speak it.

However, if we all are obedient to our calling and ministry, God does show up.

God shows up if we are faithful to serve.

We as a church want to give everyone an opportunity to use their gifts and talents to serve in an area of ministry.
The enemy tries his best to stop what God is doing, but the more we press in, the more God's work will ultimately be accomplished.
Are you ready for God’s next step?

Are you ready for what is going to happen on the 26th?

The 26th is only the beginning. It’s the first step in God’s plan for Dover Assembly.

Thanks for joining us!
