Every believers is called to active participation in the missio dei as servants, or making earth as is in heaven. We have a very real Eschatological hope and expectation, which causes us as the church to engage the lost and pursue those in darkness in anticipation for that day. We await the “fulfillment of God’s universal love, justice, and peace on earth as in heaven,” and act as forerunners, similar to John the Baptist, preparing the way of the Lord and acting as emissaries of His Kingdom which is coming. The Bible describes us as servants who are, “created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.” The Discipline also agrees that servant ministry both a holy privilege and obligation. It is our privilege as believers to serve others as Christ has served us, and is our obligation to live as he commanded us, which hinges on love based service to our neighbors.

"Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away“(NIV, 2005, p. ).

As a convert to the Church i felt prompted to serve a Mission, Having no clue what a Mission was or what to prepare for was a great lesson i learned to love.

In my past educational and ministerial training, the focus of training was on the role of the minister. The role of the minister was to care and disciple the flock under his/her care. The focus of the minister was on the need of the church that he/she served. However, as an officer the focus of my ministry will be fulfilling the mission of The Salvation Army. The mission of The Army is the redemptive

There is encouragement to congregants to get involved with Bible studies, small groups, reading the Bible, praying, and more (“2011 Summary Report”). This concept is moving in tremendous ways due to the congregants having a choice to take actions with their faith. It is also known that with having bigger Churches, there is a higher demand for volunteers. And along with the need for volunteers, and the more contemporary feel, there are more opportunities to serve. Serving is encouraged but not required, giving the congregants freedom to chose (Got questions).

I hope you all have had a wonderful week so far! Thank you all so much for Sunday! I had so munch great feedback from Savior! Great job! You nailed it! I am so thankful to be able to worship our King with you all of you each and everyday, I can not wait for Easter Sunday!!

In Chapter Four, Keller begins to show that Paul's writings in the New Testament are where God gives everyone a purpose for their work. We are all called to serve the world in whatever capacity the Lord calls us to. It is important to remember that all work is of God, not just work related to full time ministry. God has given everyone spiritual gifts and strengths and he also gives people certain talents and abilities to work in society. The mot important thing to do is to commit to our current situation where God has placed us and called us to serve. The greatest way we can serve others is to "bloom where we are planted” and to work hard as an example. Work is an act of worship; it gives glory to God.

The chapter states, “God calls people to different vocations; a call from God to serve others through designing sound bridges, reflecting God’s beauty through the arts, or teaching children to read is not less worthy than a call to be a pastor or missionary” (Hiles & Smith, 2014). After reviewing the Chapter 11, “finding your purpose” section, some of the ways that people might discover their purpose is by finding out what makes them happy, what are their strengths, passions, and missions. Followers of Jesus find their purpose by serving others, with love and giving back like Jesus does. For example, changing careers might help people their purpose. Also, serving God and people by having a vocation or an interest that makes them feel alive

Who do you serve as you examine the roads you travel? Did you choose the road full of loneliness, shame and babble? Lean of God, trust and don't just take the Word from us, but go to the source. Eat, be merry and rejoice, that you experience God's Grace and Love with your own work, faith, and choice. Be careful how you serve, by accidentally stepping on some nerves, while you try and help with love each day. Always review and examine your approach, you are not always right with your boast. Learn from your mistakes, they are all over the place. Stop acting like God, or you'll become a fraud, pretending to serve, yet lost in your deception. Be

My decision to serve an 18 month mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints seemed like such an easy decision. At the end of my senior year of high school I was set on the fact I was going to serve a mission. I would start my papers as soon as possible and leave as soon as I could. My enthusiasm soon died out and I became confused and the time to start my papers drew closer. It was about October/November when I realized that my idea to serve a mission could soon become a reality. I had been praying since what seemed like forever if a mission was the best thing for me to do

I am Matt Garner, the Mission 22 Chair Head of Theta Chi Fraternity at the University of Cincinnati. I am contacting you regarding Mission 22. We are in the beginning stages of planning Mission 22 for the Fall of 2017. We would like Veterans Affairs to be involved in these efforts, as they were last year. We would like to know when you are available for a meeting to talk about what our plan was for Mission 22 in the Fall.

There are times when serving can become a distraction to us. When such occurs to keep your focus on Jesus.

From my wife (Nicole) and I; we extend our warmest wishes to all Marines / Civilians Marines and their families for a joyous holiday season. For the past year the Marines in Combat Development Company and the Battalion Nucleus have been our extended family and for that we are forever grateful. As we all embark on the festive holiday remember to "Protect What You've Earned". Celebrate responsibly most importantly be safe. Sometimes the best gift we can give our families, friends, and fellow Marines is the gift of safe arrivals and returns. Leaders remain engaged and know your Marines' Holiday plans. I ask each of you to reflect on the commitment and pride that comes with the Title "Marine". Your dedicated to service, to our

When I hear for the fist time the God's call in my life, I never envision how could be a priestly life until now. Moreover, the vocation to the priesthood always is a self-donation to the Christian community to serve and love them as a pastor do, and I learned this here in Laredo. This journey makes me feel alive, and consequently, is providing meaning to my entire existence. However, to achieve the happiness in my vocation, I require human, spiritual, academic, and pastoral guidance to serve with high-quality to God and his flock.
