Judges 6:12
The LORD is with you, mighty warrior
“What
we do here echoes in eternity”
We were
designed to have a lasting impact on eternity. Everyone will
die, but few people will ever truly live. To live like a
Centurion,
to live with honor before God and others, to live with
commitment to principle, to live with dedication to a cause,
to live with compassion for others, is to live in a way that
will echo in eternity.

Question: "What is
Christian ministry?"
Answer: "Ministry" is
from the Greek word diakoneo, meaning "to serve" or douleuo,
meaning "to serve as a slave." In the New Testament, ministry is
seen as service to God and to other people in His name. Jesus
provided the pattern for Christian ministry—He came, not to
receive service, but to give it (see
Matthew 20:28;
Mark 10:45;
John 13:1-17).
The Christian should minister by meeting people's needs with
love and humility on Christ's behalf (see
Matthew 20:26;
Mark 10:43;
John 2:5,9;
Acts 6:3;
Romans 1:1;
Galatians 1:10;
Colossians 4:12). Christians are to minister to others out
of their devotion to Christ and their love for others, whether
the other people are believers or unbelievers. Ministry to
others should be impartial and unconditional, always seeking to
help others as Jesus would.
The ministry in our day has taken on more of a vocational
meaning as we call pastors "ministers" to full-time service.
Pastors do spend their lives in the ministry, they do minister
to others, and they can rightly be designated as ministers, but
pastors are not the only ones who are to be involved in
ministry. From the early New Testament churches to the churches
of our day, each Christian should be in the ministry of helping
others (see
Romans 12:3-8,
10-13;
2 Timothy 2:24-26).
The content of ministry seems to prioritize the ministering in
spiritual things, not just practical things. Ministry should
certainly place emphasis on sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ
with others so they can come to know Him and receive Him as
personal Savior, go on to experience Him as Lord of their life,
and go even further to know Christ as the essence of their Life
(see
John 1:12;
Colossians 2:6-7;
Galatians 2:20;
Philippians 3:8-10). Ministry can, and should, include
ministering to the physical, emotional, mental, vocational, and
financial needs of others. Jesus did, and so should we!

The Toy Run is Saturday December 6th.
The Band of Brothers will be serving coffee and donuts that

a great opportunity to reach out to the motorcycle community.
This is our 4th year serving coffee and we have become a part of

The annual Christmas light ride is Friday night
December 12th. I'll post more details as I get
them. This will be our 4th annual ride.
Through Angel Tree, the Band of Brothers can reach out to the
children of prisoners in your community by providing them
Christmas gifts, given in love, on behalf of their incarcerated
parent. But Angel Tree doesn’t end there. Gift deliveries
provide an opportunity to share the love and hope of Christ.
What’s more, that first Christmas connection can grow into a
year-round ministry of transformation as you enfold these
children and their families into the life of your church.
Through your ongoing care, you can help these precious children
grow in their faith, strengthen their relationship with their
incarcerated parent, and fulfill the purposes that God has for
them.
Ready for a life-changing experience with Angel Tree?
We'll have our own Angel Tree in the next
few weeks...

November 20: Catch! Live! Impart!
Want to change your world for Christ? Then
consider this:
CATCH the passion for God and the knowledge
of the Holy from extended time alone with Him, or from people
who are infected with Jesus Christ. Get around those who are
impassioned with being used of God to make a difference in this
tired world. Keep in mind that "it is easier to cool down a
fanatic than to liven up a corpse."
"You know how we lived among you for your
sake. You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of
severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by
the Holy Spirit. And so you became a model to all the believers
in Macedonia and Achaia." (1 Thessalonians 1:5b-7)
LIVE — Prayerfully delve into the Scriptures
with the anticipation and trust of a child at Christmas time.
Dare to unconditionally live out the truth God reveals to you
from His Word. Respond sensitively to the conviction and leading
of the Spirit. Claim and appropriate God's promises to release
you from life's bondages: The fear of man, the love of money,
the lust of the flesh, the desire to impress others; a wounded
or embittered spirit; the ruts, the familiar, the safe… perhaps
even the traditional. (James 1:22; Romans 8:14; Hebrews 6:11,
12; Romans 8:2; Psalm 34:4; Proverbs 29:25; 1 Timothy 6:6-10; 1
John 2:15-17; Hebrews 12:15; Matthew 15:8, 9)
"If you hold to my teaching, you are really
my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will
set you free… If the Son sets you free, you will be free
indeed." (John 8:31b, 32, 36b)
Allow the Spirit to lead you into areas that
demand trust and stretching. Be prepared to be surprised by the
goodness of God upon your life. That is because God loves to
bless those who dare to take Him seriously! (Acts 4:31; 1
Corinthians 2:10-12; 1 Samuel 3:9; Psalm 30:5)
"The eyes of the Lord range throughout the
earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to
him… " (2 Chronicles 16:9b)
IMPART — As Biblical truth becomes living
reality, pass it on to others. That is, fish for men. Engage and
infect people's lives with yours. Take it a step further by
making a sustained investment of your life into theirs. Embrace
missionary martyr Jim Elliot's impassioned heart-cry, "Lord,
make my life a crossroad in the life of everyone I encounter."
(Matthew 4:19; 2 Timothy 2:2; 1 Corinthians 16:14)
QUESTION: Today, is your life "business as
usual," or is there a fire burning in your soul? If the fire is
flickering close to extinction, ask yourself what root issues
need to be reexamined? What changes need to be made? Jesus' word
of encouragement may be timely:
"A bruised reed he will not break, and a
smoldering wick he will not snuff out." (Matthew 12:20a)

"And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for
yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods
which your fathers served that were on the other side of the
River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.
But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
Joshua 24:15
