Thanks again for all your hard work. It really is appreciated! We spent the first 30 minutes picking up stick piles from where the walnut trees were taken down. But what has this got to do with our lesson for tonight? A lot.
We looked at what things we have placed in our kingdoms from cell phones and friends to cars and shopping. We spend a lot of time and effort in an attempt to create a kingdom here on Earth. Our Kingdom. But what is in God's Kingdom? Why is it so vastly different from ours? And more importantly, how do we get from the effort and desire for our kingdom to striving toward God's Kingdom?
God does not give us our gifts and desires without a purpose. Each one of us has a special set of gifts that can be used to build God's Kingdom. Tonight we used our gifts of fellowship and desire for hanging out with our friends to better our church...part of God's Kingdom. Even though it was hard work, we didn't spend a lot of time doing it and we had a good time just working together. We also got some great satisfaction in accomplishing a big task. How many other ways can you find to serve God in ways that allow you to use your talents and gifts? What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? How can this be used to build God's Kingdom? Think on these things this week and we will talk a little more about this next Wednesday. Thanks again for a great job!
