Serve
For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve...
Mark 10:45
Have you ever thought and prayed about serving in any of our ministries
here at Ajax Alliance Church?
Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
God created each and every one of us with a unique purpose. Jesus equipped us with special personalities and skills so that we might be able to make an impact for His kingdom while on the earth. Christians are referred to as brothers and sisters of a family, or members of the same body. Each person does his part in serving so that the entire body might fulfill its purpose of bringing glory to God. Once you have identified your area of service, you should find a way to use those skills to serve your local church community. We are all called to serve, and to do so with love. Endless service from a wrong heart will do no good. But when we serve out of love, God is glorified.
