Ephesians 2:10 ~ Made for More: Your One Thing

Text: Ephesians 2:10
Title: Made for More: Your One Thing
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

We conclude our sermon series entitled Made for More this week. Many of us have been raised in a church culture that told us, however unintentionally, that our role was to come to worship, volunteer in something, give a little money and then let the professionals do the ministry. But what if we were made for more than holding down a seat or filling a volunteer slot. What if we truly are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has prepared in advance for us to do? What if we were made for mission, to both be a disciple and make disciples, as well as filling a unique role in God’s kingdom to show God’s love and care for this world. What if we were made for a life overflowing in the life of Jesus and guided in mission by his Spirit? During our final week of this series we consider how to determine the position: the place, the people, or the cause, to which God has called us.
