We began this series by discussing the importance of serving within the church. If you're new, you might think this is a volunteer drive, but it's more than that. We're exploring how serving others is the best way to connect with God, improve your marriage, and enhance your work life. Just like jumping off a high dive can be scary at first but exhilarating once you take the plunge, serving in the church may feel daunting, but it’s rewarding. Whether you dive in quickly or ease in slowly, there’s no wrong way to start serving. You might wonder if you have the right gifts or if you need to believe everything the church believes to serve, but there are many ways to get involved even if you're still exploring your faith. Today, we’ll challenge you to take a step and jump into serving. We'll also discuss a trip tracing the missionary journeys of Paul, an exciting opportunity to learn more about his life and teachings. As we delve into Romans 12, we'll see how Paul describes the church as the body of Christ, emphasizing the importance of each member contributing their unique gifts to serve others and fulfill God's will.
