A Heart for Service

07.29.11- Women's Connection Group

The great thing about our connections groups is our discussion time. It allows us to share our heart , personal experiences, and testimonies with one another. 

One of the questions for us, this past Friday, was “at the end of your life , how do you want to be remembered?” We don’t think about that because we are young women however we all have pretty good answers. For some it is being remembered for community service or for some it is to being remembered as a good family woman.

This past week we studied “A Heart for Service”.

*God blesses and assists those who seek to grow in faith and serve Him.

(Hebrews 11:7-40)

*Setting goals and God-centered priorities increases our rate of spiritual growth. 

“The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty” Prov. 21:5 

*God prepares us before He enlist us to serve Him. We have examples in the Bible of  people like Noah, Abraham, Joseph, and Simeon how God prepare them before accomplishing His mission in their lives. 

*Women who love and  serve God make an enduring impact on the Kingdom of God. The Bible gives us shining examples of women who fulfilled God’s design for service. 

• Dorcas- Acts 9:36-41
• Lydia- Acts 16:11-40, 40
• Priscilla- Acts 18:1-3, 18-19; 1 Corinthians 16:19; 2 Timothy 4:19
• Phoebe- Romans 16:1-2

*God gives every believer at least one spiritual gift to edify and build His church.

  Here are some questions that will help to discover your gift. 

• What service do you do within your church that brings you the most joy?
• What do you do within your church that people say blesses them the most?
• What do you do within your church that energizes rather that exhausts you?
• What do you do within your church that best reveals Christ’s love in you?

This Friday we are going to have a Diaper and Wipes Shower for Rachel after our Bible Study. I hope you all can make it.

Don’t forget to bring something to eat. 

See you on Friday at 10:30 am. 

Love,

Carla
