The Grace of Christ be with you!
Since Christ is the gate that provides access to God then the church functions as the gatekeeper. How does the church open up in order to allow those whom God calls to enter?
Identify gifts & talents of members:
-
Build on members’ talents & passion.
-
Celebrate gifts of all members.
Develop gifts & talents into ministries:
-
A “Let Your Light Shine” ministry.
-
Ask all members to support one.
Take ministries into community:
-
Ministries function as gate to church.
-
Church welcomes those God calls.
Jesus warned against practicing one’s piety in public in order to be seen by others. Instead he taught his followers to practice good works before others so that God’s name would be glorified by all. “Let your light...” (Mt. 5:16)
The church then stands between the gospel and the world. The church is the gatekeeper who can open up access by drawing on the talents, hobbies, gifts, etc., of its members and using them to create ministries that quite literally open up the church to let in all whom God calls.
Blessings, Will
