This week, we reach the conclusion of our sermon series on “The Abundant Life” of discipleship. Each week, we have seen what it means to be people who “Gather,” who “Grow,” who “Give,” and who “Go.” This past week, we talked about how we can give thanks for the time, talents, and treasure that God has given to each of us. We also spoke about how we are to use those gifts to bless others.
It seems appropriate, then, that we would talk this week about “Going” into our community and world to share those gifts. I give thanks that WEPC is a church that seeks to “go,” and we do it both locally and globally. This has been on display through our giving towards Operation Christmas Child, through our Wednesday night ministry, and through our local and global mission partners. However, I am also reminded of our desire to “go” when I hear the stories of you answering the challenge to bless others with gift cards, prayer, and random acts of kindness. In fact, in this week’s service, we’re going to hear many stories and testimonies of how God is blessing us to bless others!
