On May 19, 2002 we held our celebration event to kick off our three-year spiritual journey to expand God's vision for our church and to help each parishioner grow closer to God. Our theme is "Building on Jesus, Our Rock". Our congregation made commitments in three areas of their lives: Time, Talent, and Treasure.
“But
his delight is in the law of the LORD, The Lord asks us to seek Him first. A commitment in Time is your personal time spent in prayer, Bible study, memorizing Scripture, reading God’s Word or worshipping the Lord.
“Having
then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us,
let us use them…” God has given each of us abilities, talents, and gifts – all for His glory! A commitment in Talent is to be involved in at least one ministry or outreach of the church. Everything
we have is loaned to us by God.
Even though He owns everything and needs nothing from us,
He chooses to place some things
in our hands to manage for Him.
If we honor and trust Him, we give back to Him what He
has given to us. What we do with our Treasure indicates
the condition of our relationship with God.
"But
lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys |
