well we are in our final of our series beyond 115 beyond 150 not know what we're referring to in 115 raise your hand now there's few people here that they have missed the last couple of weeks and so 115 is this service started at eleven-thirty we shoot to be finished by 1145 don't hold us to it but it's about 115 so this whole syriza is how do we go beyond 115 just coming to church for that one hour and 15 minutes on Sunday and so we were talking beyond a life of leisure and we saw how we can be asleep and we sang this morning awaken awaken awaken it because when you're asleep you're living but you're not affecting your environment and we saw that we needed to cut out of this life of leisure and see that there's a work that God wants us to do God is a business called God and Sons God sons and daughter and he's got something he wants to do and it's the laborers that are few not the harvest it's the laborers that are few and so God wants his people to work there's a work for us to do and so that was her whole call in that first message beyond a life of leisure realized there's something that God wants to accomplish on this earth he's given us talents and abilities were going to stand before and he's going to ask what we did with what we had and that's a very sobering thing to realize you and the Lord are going to have this little encounter and you're going to be rewarded as a result and also you know we want to hear that well done and your honor hear it if you do well he's going to it's not just a little slap on the back of everybody well done well done well done no you're going to stand there he's going to ask you to give an account as we saw in those portions and he's only going to say well done if we've done well if we've been lazy and slothful we saw what happens to that person who hid their talent they didn't work I were still servant I just didn't work they lived a life of leisure so then last we talked about beyond good intentions we can get inspired say you know what I really need to do something different and but it never moves beyond being inspired and we get up the next morning on monday and we don't really do anything different we said she had a few tears on sunday feel inspired and move but we haven't already done anything and we saw beyond 115 68 hours in a week we spend an hour and 15 minutes here there's a hundred and sixty six hours and 45 minutes left and what are we doing in those hours it's not enough just to have a good intention we need to actually do something and that was our message from last week and we saw that a lot of things that hold us back is just the distractions of life we get busy we need to do something but we just get busy so many things and the Bible called them works of darkness and darkness is just the absence of light and the only way to get rid of at the works of darkness is to live in light of eternity live your life in light of eternity there are some things that really matter and there's other things that matter for this life but it doesn't matter at all for eternity and if we're not careful we can get caught up in this life not necessarily bad things it's just not in light of eternity I got to take the kids here gotta do that got to buy that God you don't need to do that we need the point that I think that it's got to do all the things we have to do and they're not bad things we just get busy and then we a good content our intentions are gone we live our life and then we don't have time I'd love to don't have time which had more time to do something for God don't have enough time we saw you have to change your schedule if you're going to go beyond good intentions and that the last is beyond spectator attendance as we're going to talk about today encourage you to take out from your bulletin the fill-in sheet also there is a ministry opportunity sheet in that bulletin as well you'll need to have both of them out follow along with us today as we go beyond spectator attendance here's your first fill in on your shade every believer is either a spectator or a participant you're going to fall into one or two you're either a spectator or you're a participant you go to a game you're either in the stands or you're on the field and sadly it says I've heard you've heard the expression when you go to a ball game there's 22,000 people in the stands that are badly in need of exercise and 22 people on the field who are badly in need of rest now we sang the group saying the song this morning but I'm a tired i'm beat not first i thought where are we going with this song but i tell you if you're on the field that may be how you feel you're tired you're working you feel beaten you following the Blue Jays are in this final stretch and they're saying all the members of the team are beat up they're all playing with some kind of injury so it is as you as players in the natural go through a season they get beat up they get tired and then we need that rest but I'm going to keep on running I'm going to keep on going I'm gonna keep pressing in you know what I hear I hear some people say well I've done my part I've been on the field long enough let's some of the other people do it well that may be true that some of the other people need to be involved but don't give up that's a lie of Satan you've done your part you paid your dues let someone else do it no we all keep working we're working til the Lord comes we're going to work we're going to wear these things on until Jesus comes I'm going to work till Jesus come you keep pressing in spectators they're interested in the game they follow every play they cheer when the team makes in advance they criticized when they don't make a good play well why'd they do that I should have done that they don't see why they're doing that they watch everybody's play critical boo when it goes bad that's a spectator listen don't be a Christian spectator sitting on the side interested in the game watching whatever things happening but criticizing when someone just doesn't do it right didn't do it your way we need to become a participant and to get on the field and do something you'll make a mistake when you're on the field you'll get tired up when you're on the field you might get beaten up and tackled when you're on the field but we're doing it for cause there's a such or something that's at stake if you haven't heard these first two messages go online go to youtube listen to these message you can get it off our website you need to know the background of this message today because I want you to see the importance of you getting on the field being involved working for the kingdom of god it's so vitally important everything else doesn't really matter it's just darkness it has nothing of value for eternity you need to involve yourself in things that have that will last for eternity and use what you're doing in the natural as your platform you see we said before that God wants everybody working if there was a business that only worked an hour and 15 minutes a day well that business wouldn't it's very far but he he wants us all to work in the Bible says he's pastors and teachers in the church to equip the Saints for the work of ministry so all of you are to be a participant all of you are to do the work my job is to equip you and to inspire you and to help you to do your ministry my platform is here my work a lot of it is done in the hour 15 your platform is that your work your platforms your vocation your hobby when you're talking to your neighbor that's your platform be alight be a participant realize it involve yourself so that you're doing the work of ministry and so this is so important for us to see so to fulfill the vision of participating in God's work here's the next fill in focus your mind on spiritual goals focus your mind on spiritual goals you can get so caught up in just the natural but they're not spiritual you can have a goal to get my home paid off and to save enough money to buy that car and and we want to go on that vacation and your planning and you're working and and I want to achieve and I want to get that promotion at work and so we're we're working and working but we need to focus our mind on spiritual goals because those are the only important goals everything else is just of this earth has value here on this earth but has no value for eternity wise people realize I need I need to work for eternity that's what the important thing is not just how my bank account is here how many toys I've you know achieved and gathered during my life here now there's something more important Romans 8 5 says for those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh but those who live according to the spirit the things of the Spirit are or is your mind focused on spiritual things when you get up Monday morning are you thinking about how your life is going to count for the kingdom of God that day if you're not focusing your mind you'll just have a good intention I what I want I wanted I want to do something for God but if you never focus on Monday Tuesday Wednesday when you're meeting someone and you got a few minutes if you're with someone longer than five minutes that's a divine encounter in fact it might even be less than five minutes here's an opportunity always be alert how can I be alert to what's happening what's what are they sensitive or what what do they need just suffering to pray for some we're going to talk about this on the Saturday night or the Saturday this coming Saturday don't miss I mean really don't miss this saturday if you're really interested in being a soul winner you need to be here on Saturday need to sign up for it let us know call the office because we're going to be talking about these very things of how you make your life count and how you transition conversations and how you can be alert to someone's need very practical ways of just can I pray with you about that and being bold that you're able to do that in a natural way not in a stilted way not in a way that turns people off but in a way that's caring and loving I tell you the harvest is plenteous it's the labor is that are few and we need to set our mind on spiritual goals or you'll just sleepwalk through your life sleeping Christian wake up wake up to spiritual realities focus you need to be intentional here's first Corinthians 9 24 do not know do you not know that those who run in a race all run but one receives the price run in such a way that you may obtain it and everyone who competes for the price is temperate in all things now they do it to obtain a perishable crown but we for an imperiled crown therefore I runs us not with uncertainty I thus I fight not as one who beats there but I discipline my body and bring it into subjection here's the problem we need to get our body engaged our hearts engaged jesus said to the disciples your spirit is willing your Flash is weak we got to get our flash involved in this game the people in the stands they're engaged mentally I want to follow the game but they have no flesh in the game we got to get our flesh in the game and and Paul gives the same analogy of a sportsman and he was talking about the Olympics of his day and they practice and they discipline himself and they do all their routines for a natural crown we're going to stand before God to receive spiritual crowns and so we need to not be on certain about our life you need to know what you're doing and run to get the prize that spiritual price we are to live out a spiritual reality in a physical realm that's our problem transitioning our spiritual understanding and vision into a physical realm how to get my good intentions in the spiritual to actually live itself out as I would talk and walk and interact with people there is our there's the crunch right there you need to discipline your physical body and keep your eyes and mind on the spiritual but your body needs to be committed to physical disciplines that's why bible study and attending classes and prayer it's getting your physical body somewhere now that alone will not do it but if the spirit is engaged you have a spiritual goals and you're disciplining your physical body and you're saying okay I'm with this person I want to witness to them but just thinking about it is not going to do them any good you're going to have to open your mouth you're going to have to know what to say you have to engage in a conversation you have to bro janu tropic now you know God says there's lots of people that are hungry out there the harvest is plenteous it's just the people that will engage it's the labors is the people getting on the field we need to be participants and so we physically discipline ourselves according to our spiritual goals to accomplish God's purpose now that's really good you can say Amen anywhere along there here's your next fill in if you're going to fulfill the vision of participating in God's work you need to write the vision and make it plain write the vision and make it plain this is what it says in half a cup to verse to write the vision make it plain on tablets that he may run who reads it for the vision is yet for an appointed time but at the end it will speak and it will not lie though it Terry's wait for it because it will surely come it will not tarry you have to get your spiritual goal into a very clear plain expression write the vision now you can actually physically write it you can type it but its meaning you got to get it out of just the I want to do this God has a vision for your life he is a plan you're a 10 everybody's a 10 at something don't sit back so I can't do it because I can't do what they do no you're gifted differently and we'll talk about that in a minute but you have to you have to get it down to an area where you understand it you can express it this is why we do the 101 class the 201 class the 31 class the 401 class these are not just classes that we thought how we got to feel some time here should we do let's do this class these classes are designed for me to do my work to equip you to the ministry the 101 class is how you become part of the body of Christ and how you function in as a team member in the church the second one is spiritual disciplines and we already talked about that the third one is to learn your shape your ministry your shape for a ministry as H a PE your spiritual gift your hearts passion your abilities your personality your experiences you have a shape we have these classes to help you discover what your shape is with profiles questionnaires helping you to do that we want to equip you to be effective you but you got to get it plain it can't just be left I wonder what God wants me to do I am not too good at anything and we don't do anything so all of these things are to help you but you have to go beyond the 115 you have to go beyond saying and feeling good about yourself because I attend every Sunday I'm at every game I'm in the stands i'm watching I don't know why these other fans they hardly ever come they only come every two or three games I am here every game and I'm watching and I'm cheering we got it we got to get out of that mentality will be on 115 where we say I'm gonna get down on the field I want to get my uniform dirty I'm gonna I'm gonna slug it out I'm going to get tired I'm going to get beaten I'm going to open myself to because I'm laboring for God's kingdom beyond a life of leisure beyond good intentions beyond being a spectator you have to commit to it and and see it clearly how God has brought you here's Romans 12 44 we have many members in one body but all the members do not have the same function we're different so we being many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us let us use them you have a gift he's given to every person a gift so don't belittle yourself don't say well if I could do what they did well then maybe I'd do something you can do something you are valuable you are important you're not an afterthought you just have to find your place and use your gift your talent your ability whatever it is it says if prophesying then prophecy or ministry let us use it in our ministry he who teaches and teaching he who exhorts in exhortation heel gives with liberality he who leads with diligence he who shows mercy with cheerfulness these are seven basic motivational gifts that we have talked about in the past and we really and we talk about them in the 301 class we lay it out what are these gifts you will have one of these motivations we explain what it is these are and you need to use your gift don't waste your gift don't hide your gift don't put it under a bushel and then offer it back to the Lord in the judgment well here it is Lord here's my gift I didn't lose it he said well how did you didn't you get anything from it then to profit the kingdom in any way well no he's going to say use lazy and slothful servant so we need to to being engaged in our mind we're going to be a participant here you were designed perfect for the work God has for you you need to see that know it believe it there's nothing wrong about you well I got this disability yeah but that disability is to make you perfect for God's plan for your life he's fitting you in a place and he wants you to be there so it doesn't matter what you can or can't do your designed perfect for God's plan for your life so find what that is that's when you'll find you'll feel fulfilled you'll be happy you'll be contented we're we're bored because we're not doing what God's called us for we have all these talents and abilities and then we trying to fill our time with all these other little worldly pursuits that are nothing necessarily wrong with but they just have no spiritual benefit at all so we spend hours and hours watching TV playing video games engaged in some kind of hobby and unless you unless you are using that as a platform to extend the kingdom of God and you can in every activity use it as a platform be salt and light where you are with an intention I'm here in this I'm part of this club but I'm going to shine like a bright light here lord help me I'm going to be alert I'm on I'm on the field I'm in the game I'm your witness here help me Lord when you have that attitude keep your mind on spiritual things then you're going to be effective but if you just daydream through life and have no spiritual perception at all you're just wasting your life here's the next one walk out the vision and the power of the Spirit walk out the vision in the power of the Spirit this is not your own efforts alone it's not just trying you have to engage but here's the beautiful thing he gives you a power he enhances your abilities he he energizes you gives you insight there's a spiritual element when you engage and the scripture says that we're to walk in the spirit and you'll not fulfill the lust of the flesh we already talked about this there are so many things that crowd into our life and because of darkness darkness is the absence of light and if you're not living in light of eternity in light of his purposes and his goals there's going to be a lot of darkness in your life and you're going to get upset at people and you're going to be struggling with things and besetting sins because you got all this time on your hand you have no focus and you just need to live in light of eternity you get offended someone spoke about me is that someone ignored me now going back to that church no one's talks to me there we get petty we're sheep milling around in the sheepfold stepping on one another's toes trying to find our place at the food trough they pushed me and are they pushing me for give me my room that's it that's what happens when there's no vision when there's no vision the people perish but when you see there's a purpose in my life I don't have time to be offended I can't I can't take the energy to try to defend my rights here because it doesn't really matter I can suffer wrong because of the kingdom here I need to work with this person see two people on a team they may not get along personalities may not just jive really but when they're out on the field they're working together and so we have to put off the works of darkness but the way you do it is by walking in the light and the the final verse on that portion of scripture says if we live in the spirit let us also walk in the spirit see living in the spirit is our born-again experience we come alive to the Lord you're born again you're living in the spirit you have new life that is something that God just does within us we're born again but if you live in the spirit walk in the spirit walk it out day by day moment by moment you need to walk it out don't just live in the spirit and sleep walk walk it out be engaged walk in the spirit then you'll find all these other things the works of the flesh will fall away love joy peace long-suffering kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness self-control all these things are fruit that's coming from the spirit in your life that enables you to do things that you thought you could never do so your job is to walk in the spirit put your mind to start walking and the Bible says he will direct your steps if you walk in the spirit he'll direct your space he'll take you to the destination you just have to get started just need to get engaged this is what we need to do now final part of your filling is this what are some characteristics of participants people that are on the field here's number one they sign up for the team if you're in the stands and you've been cheering and why well you need to sign up for the team to get on the field it's the first step oh no I don't want to sign up I don't want to be obligated obligated to do God's work obligated to to push forward with other people why not well I want my freedom I don't want to sign up I just want to look in maybe help out when I want but you have to sign up whatever that means can be literally signing up or it might be that you sign up to the Lord I'm in Lord I'm no longer a spectator I want to be involved and and you do something you take the first step you get engaged you have to sign up it seems so simple I see so many people in the stands who talk about the value of playing for God and making their life count and they cheer and they're there every week to cheer but they never sign up they never get involved they never they never become a participant if we're going to move beyond good intentions we have to sign up say Lord I'm in it's your first step to get beyond being a spectator a good spectator but God wants more than spectators he wants us to be involved to further the kingdom here's the second one train for their position with a coach you have to train the sports teams I i was on growing up we had a coach and we had trained we trained and they taught us how to do it and how to get better and how to I played football when I was in high school and how to prepare for a game in the game plan and how to tackle and how to run and I all these things we practice drills over and over again you have to train a lot of times we try to do something without training and then we get frustrated oh I can't do that that was a bad experience I'm never going to do that again we never we never engaged in it enough we never trained we never asked for any help we we we wanted to do our own thing in her own way but God is a structure any-any he's put apostles and prophets and pastors and teachers in the church to help people to develop their talents and abilities to be workers here's the third one show up on game day yeah I have to show up on game day there's a lot of people who sign up for the team so to go through the training but then when game day comes well they just don't show up well why didn't you share up well my sister was coming in we went to the fair together I was tired last night so I can't I can't do my responsibilities and you just don't show up on game day I mean you have to say what's important here what's really important and our sleep or showing up on game day someone came in from out of town so I can't I know I'm signed up for it but can't do it listen all of our reasons and excuses make sense if you're just looking at the natural realm but when you're looking in light of eternity and you're standing for before God at the judgment seat of Christ and you're giving an account for what you did every excuse is going to be burned up if it's wood hay and stubble if it doesn't last if it doesn't go through the fire the fire of what lasts for eternity gold silver precious stones did this matter for eternity that is the spiritual perspective you need to gauge your life against and say what's really important here yeah i can i can get distracted i can i can run after the same things the world runs after and ask God to help me and when you really look at it it had nothing to do with eternity had had nothing to do with God's kingdom it was just something for this earth now the Bible says seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added it doesn't mean that we don't have pleasures in this world and we don't get anal to be blessed by just some things it does but we seek first his kingdom let God add the things to us we're just seeking his kingdom we're putting him first when you do that you'll find a lot of blessings will just come into your life without you even knowing it they just follow you they just come up and tackle you from behind he adds them to you so show up on game day here's the last one play as a team to win play as a team to win you have to play as a team I already mentioned this you may not naturally compatible with some people but when you have everyone going for the goal then it's a team win that's important where you check your ego at the door and they say teams that win championships are teams that have great players but they have they're not playing for their statistics they're not playing at the expense of the team they make other team members better their star players but they don't have to be the star they're playing for the team and so it is in the church humility is one of the greatest factors in the kingdom of God you humble yourself you're serving your blessing someone else you're adding your gift you're not worrying who gets the credit you're playing as a team it's a team when we're going for and you need to know when the team wins what are we trying to do as a team make it playing get it clear now that's just transition from there for a moment to this sheet that we have laid out trying to understand okay what's a team win and how what's the ministry opportunities at this local church now there's two sides of this one of this is this structure these are ministries that are organized that operate through the church and extension of the church but this isn't the only area of ministry I've already mentioned to you your platform is your work your vocation that is the prime work for us 24 hours a day seven days a week we're doing God's work but this helps us this is some organized ministries to help us equip us help us to do better and help us to do some things as a team out into our community you see these are like a stepping stone to personal ministries that you may have and they go hand in hand and you're involved on a team may be in the church but it quickens you to be alert when you're at work to minister to someone beside you there so here are some ministry opportunities here at the church we've tried to distill down what is the vision what's the mission of the church and this is what we've come up with what is my job they other staff members of the church what are we trying to do we're trying to lead people to connect with God unite with others to fulfill their eternal purpose a one-sentence mission everything about what I do should be connecting people with God bringing them to a personal relationship with God bringing salvation to people realizing is not just religion this is a personal relationship with God you need to connect with God and all through your life connect with God everyday connect with God unite with others because we're teen our ministry depends on one another we had different gifts but we're all working together unite with others to fulfill our eternal purpose so that when we stand before God he's saying well done good and faithful servant you saw what your purpose was you wrote it you made it plain you worked hard yes you were beaten yes you were tired but you contributed to the whim and so we want to connect people with God unite with others to fulfill their spiritual purpose that is the mission of this church and we're going to work it out in different ways now here's just a ministry structure and ministry opportunities starts with myself giving oversight there's alders there's the financial component Larry is our executive director and we divided the ministries of the church into eight divisions you won't be able to read it on the screen but it's there in your bulletin eight divisions and let's just look at them real quick every division has a supervisor and there's different ministries under every division the first is the facilities just this physical plant we have here and it's getting bigger and more involved all the time but it's for a purpose it's not an end within itself it's a place where we can have a training center we can worship we can come together and if it ever becomes an end within itself then it's lost its purpose this should be a place where we connect people with God unite with others to fulfill you know the purpose of God this is this is why we have this facility there are workdays cleanup days ground there's a sign-up sheet after the service we have a ministry room where all these eight divisions are laid out with the different ministries you can go in and you can talk to people involved in ministries and you just may want to sign and say you know when they're doing something special cleanup day around the church I'm putting my name down you can call on me you actually sign up and then the next one is education and here's an area of where we have power of house kids that's happening right downstairs now there's a nursery going on kids are being ministered to there is kids blast which is going to be wednesday night kids blast and VBS once a year junior youths are juniors we're going to have another new division for junior youth which is very crucial grade six seven and eight we're going to a special ministry for them Wednesday nights we're renovating the top two rooms right now for that purpose and we need help in renovation we need help financial help to finish and renovate those rooms it's costing us money and so all of us need to get involved so what's my part as the Bible says some is to give and by giving you're fulfilling a call on your life and others it's to be involved in helping and and there's so many different things okay so that's the educational side then the next division is outreach and fellowship here we have life and balance that's the radio program use some of you may want to be involved in that there's missions bridge builders that's activities going out into the community now october eight we've mentioned october eighth is a special day we have here on that sad I think they're starting four or five o'clock it's going to be jumping castles and all kinds of games for kids on the grounds here going to be a barbecue going to they're putting up a big huge screen and showing an outdoor movie on that night now here's how is that going to be a success if we get people on the field working we need physically people to help man some of those stations but here's the other thing you can be a spectator say I'm glad they're doing that on top so great and I hope that's a great at success i'm going to cheer that on but you never talked to a neighbor who has kids you never talk to someone that you say hey come on out we got a date on site light let me then we pick your kids up let me take them to that this day october eight see we have to make this practical it's one thing to to be a spectator happy that events are going on and being involved and getting down and and and giving some effort to make it work no you don't have to be involved in everything because everybody has different gifts but you need to realize what does God want me to do with that activity I don't want to just be a spectator see Johnny and Courtney head that up and they're putting effort and the team that's working with them to make that day a success but we need to all be involved in that here's the you know you can just go down the list here there's a men's ministry pit stops ladies are having a retreat this weekend there's young adults that are happening on on Tuesday night there's a whole new ministry that you're going to hear about called house arrest that's exciting ministry to ladies all of these things are there for us if we will sign up get involved see how can i participate in this then there's Kate there's worship youth creative arts here's youth worship team Wednesday's we need sound people creative arts multimedia lighting drama video who's preparing the communion when we do that there's baptism who arranges for the baptism to be all set when we do a baptism for next Sunday all of these things are on this list these are just partial list but their ministries people we need people to be involved there's a lot of people in these ministries that are doing multiple things and wearing multiple hats and they're tired out we need more people involved we need people to say I'm going to put my shoulder to this we're going to get involved I'm going to be more than a spectator goes on 2k WCF cares this is the whole pastoral care of the church there's a meals ministry helping hands benevolence as people need help there's cards and flowers ministry then there's Stephen ministry which is a very very important ministry and you're going to hear more about this in the coming weeks but this is a and again there's an insert your bulletin regarding this this is a very very important ministry where people are trained to be to come alongside people and see them through hard times and this is a one-on-one ministry there's 50 hours of training that goes into this and I tell you that training is worth anyone to go through you need to do that training that that training alone will just help you how do you help a neighbor that's going through a difficult time we lost a loved one what do you say how do you do what's the best way to come alongside this this is a great

of training people to be a minister disciple to learn diamond development we already talked about the four classes baked into class small groups now here's one this guy's even got my name beside it 469 BF q 469 BF q what in the world's that it's our it's our new name for class that we have given before called bible foundations 469 questions that are basic faith questions we're going to start offering this wednesday night in two weeks time it's going to run through the fall and basically through the winter it's an extensive class where you will learn the basics of christian faith that this class if there's just one thing I would encourage people to do they need to go to that class it's my basic foundation of understanding of the Bible put out in a very clear systematic way starting from Genesis going right through revelation touching every aspect a lot of people say well I'd witnessed I don't know I don't know the answer to that I don't matter you're confused about something this is a great class 469 questions there's a sign-up sheet right out those doors in the foyer a starting in two weeks time we're going to do wednesday nights a little different here's what when's the nights

that will be involved will do the the 469 questions all of that will be on Wednesday night soon will tell you more about it so I'm trying to lay out for your vision is what we want to do connect people with God unite people together so that we can fulfill our eternal purpose I the last ones are here to connect that whole ministry with Usher's greeters info booth newcomers link how do you integrate people into the church there's security and fire involvement now is the church is getting bigger we have to have procedures in place that if a fire alarm goes off Usher's know how to direct people out different places so it's not a wild dash but we need people involved that's trained and how to do that these are practical things and yet they have a spiritual purpose without them we couldn't be gathered here and you know the cafe we have between services a great time to connect and fellowship together so all of these ministries are available for you it's why I encourage you at the end of the service that you avail yourself of the opportunity to go into the ministry room and look at the different displays now you won't have enough time to talk to everyone and answer all your questions but there is a whole number of sign-up sheets and for every one of those ministries there's sign-up sheets and so what you can do if you're interested just go put your name down say I know you're not even you know committing that I'm going to do what you say I'm interested in that ministry put your name down the contact you you can you know you can get more of your questions answered and so this is a very practical time after this service for those that want to go beyond good intentions who say I know God's created me for a purpose and I want to use my life for God's kingdom this is a step these are stepping stones into a full orbed life for God I pray that you we move by God's Spirit this morning to be engaged shall we stand together father we've heard your word this morning we want to take action I pray Lord for this congregation that stands here you know our hearts you know the ones that's already engaged and they are tired but lord I pray that you would refresh them that they can continue in ministry I pray Lord for those that have an interest but for whatever reason they haven't stepped forward I pray Lord that many many people today will step into their eternal purpose that there'd be no spectators in our church we're all involved in some way to further your kingdom help us help me and the other leaders of the church to be who we should be and may every person here Lord feel that call to ministry and that they would say here my lord send me i praying asked us all in the name of the Lord Jesus amen and amen
