“What I Want To Be To This Church”
1 Timothy 1:12-20

- Always to display thankfulness.
Thankfulness is a priority in the life of a Christian, or at least it should be.
Have the mindset of being thankful. Be thankful for what you have.
- a) God’s love
You cannot figure out the love of God if you are not thankful.
If it was not for God’s love, you would not be in church this morning, and you would not be where you are at today.
God loves you in spite of what you do and what you are.
- b) For the goals He has
He saved you and is trying to make a pattern for your life to those that are without god.
This in the world, do they desire what you have and what you are?
You are to be salt and light to this world.
- c) Because God will get all the glory out of it.
The whole goal of your life is for god to get the glory. Why? Because it’s Him that did the work, not you.
- Be trustworthy
- a) God has a plan for your life.
You may not be able to be a lot of things, but you can be faithful, as that is something everyone can be and do.
Do the best that you can do where God has put you.
- b) In the pattern to the lost world
Your life may be the pattern that someone is watching.
- c) In the product God wants
Is God proud to be your Father?
Desire for God to be pleased with your life.
The devil is not happy with the life that you are living for God, and he is trying his best to destroy it.
God has a ministry that He has in store for your life.
- Be tailor made
Let God tailor you to be the best that you can be in the ministry that God has for you.
Be a fighter.
Fight the good fight of faith.
You will lose good friends if you fight the good fight.
Live always ready to do what God wants you to do.
Be ready for whatever God has in store for your life.
Be so that you’ll be conformed to the image of God. Let God tailor make you for what He has for your life.
BUS MINISTRY UPDATE:
This morning the Lord allowed us to have a total of 59 riders. There was 47 riders with 1 adult from the McDuffie route and then there was 12 riders from the Columbia County rider. We had quite the crew today with bus kids, but what a joy they bring to our church.
