Our Responsibility

Today's message at church was the second of a four part Jesus Mission series entitled "Our Responsibility." Upon hearing the title, I was very interested to hear more since I have committed myself to doing everything I can possibly do to play a part in Suncrest's journey toward changing lives. Over the next nine months, I will be praying for the church as well as fasting on Wednesdays. I am also keeping myself open to other possibilities as things move along and more opportunities come into view.

The main idea behind the message focused on how God designed the world with certain systems that followers can rely on to guide them in their journey to serve God. Just like other laws in nature, these systems will always hold true and should be used for direction as we are making decisions in our lives. I can see how a blatant understanding of these types of systems will better enable us to serve God and hold our actions accountable for the level of blessing in our lives.

In his most profound spiritual system, God blesses us expecting we will share the blessing. After living by this fact, we will be able to accomplish exactly what God desires for us in this world. We can all make a difference in the lives of those around us simply by making it a priority to promote positive energy and use our individual gifts to benefit the community as a whole. Also, the system continues with the recognition that our future blessing from God is going to be dependent on how we use our current blessing. We must trust God to replenish our lives by participating in a never ending cycle of receiving and giving blessing.

Our faith will be the cornerstone for the effectiveness of God's systems in our lives. In order to successfully carry out his will, we must all take an active role in sharing God's goodness existing in our own lives with others throughout our daily activities. We must take time to acknowledge the wonderful things God does for us and allow those blessings to permeate the world through our actions... which will then truly spread his glory far beyond our physical reach.
