Do Something! Plan

Icebreaker:

How long have you attended Grace Place?

What brought you to the congregation?

Overview:

Read 1 Corinthians 15:58.

If you have been in small group, Sunday school or Wednesday night class with me when the sermon discussion questions are used, you will know I try not to make a big deal out of the fact that I am the one who writes this curriculum weekly for the church. It is not that it is a secret or that I am embarrassed. The fact is that this is my service, my Do Something, to God and the church. God has given me an ability to write and I am willing to use it to His glory and purpose. Writing for the church is not a burden; it is a privilege.  

I recently heard Jim Lyon, General Director of Church of God Ministries, speak and he mentioned how they use Socratic questions, named for the Greek philosopher, Socrates, in their radio ministry to help the listener learn Biblical truths. After the service, I told him that I had been writing what I hoped are Socratic questions for our church for the past eight years. My goal is not that I am glorified but that people learn more about Jesus and how to serve Him through the questions that I write.

I hope you find your service, your Do Something. Don’t ever underestimate the skills and abilities that God have given you! God needs you. The church needs you. Go Do Something!
