I was recently
encouraged by a post on a church volunteer website about a Christian's Core
Value.
Churches that have a
higher percentage of people involved in serving live out these six values found
in 1 Corinthians 1:2-9. 2 To the church of God in Corinth,
to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people, together
with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their
Lord and ours: 3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ.4 I always thank my God for you because
of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have
been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— 6 God
thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. 7 Therefore
you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus
Christ to be revealed. 8 He will also keep you firm to the end,
so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God
is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our
Lord.
PRAYER- The
Church needs to rely on this to see God in all aspects of their ministry.
The PRIESTHOOD

family, the church, the community, and the world.

Let's
