"And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did" 1 John 2:3-6
For the past couple of weeks, NUNATION student ministries has been in a series called, "SERVE." It has been awesome to put our faith and love into action!!! I was blown away with my middle/high school students in letting their character be sharpened by putting their normal Sunday connivence to the way side in order that they might help out a family in getting their yard and house in order for spring time. It's not that we did a complete overhaul of the people's homes, but worked together in unity for a common purpose. Here's what was accomplished in our 2 Sundays:
- Raked leaves for 8 homes
- Cleaned around 40 windows
- Picked up sticks, trash in the community
- Swept porches and parking lot
- Mowed 3 yards
- Walked around praying for the neighborhood
- Laid mulch for the Lighthouse Counseling Center
Those who are devoted followers of Jesus...we are called to see the needs around us and do our best to serve our neighbors. That's what this series, "SERVE" was all about. Living like Jesus doesn't end with a series, but continues everyday! Everyday, keep your eyes/ears open to meet a need...to be aware of what's happening in the lives of those you see. You are the Hands and Feet of Jesus! What an awesome responsibility :)
