TAKING IT HOME
1. Pastor Larry made it clear that, "If you are a Christian, you have a ministry." One of the best ways to discover our ministry is to just get out there and serve where there is a need. Take a few minutes to talk to God about how He would like to use you, and then listen. Is He nudging you in any specific direction?
2. Another way to get involved is to look closely at your gifts, interests, abilities, personality or experience. Based on your unique wiring, can you think of a ministry that might have your name on it? Try not to get too caught up in finding the exact right thing; God is more interested in you stepping out and doing something.
