I went to lunch with a good friend recently. She asked me about how things were going with the transition from The Way to Christian Faith Center (CFC) Middleton. As we talked, I told her how I was a greeter at the CFC Caldwell location (which we are attending until the Middleton campus is refurbished and launched in September).
She asked me how I felt about standing at the door after so many years of standing behind the pulpit as head pastor. I guess it might seem a bit odd, but I love it.
There are two verses that I have always tried to live by.
The first is Colossians 3:17 and defines how I serve. “And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” [HCSB]
Whatever I am called or asked to do, from standing behind the pulpit to standing at the door, I will try to do it in a way that honors the name of the LORD Jesus – giving thanks to my Father God for the opportunity and ability to serve.
My second verse is Proverbs 17:22 and defines how I try to face whatever comes my way in this life. “A merry heart does good like a medicine.” [NKJV]
I pray that whatever God asks of me, I will serve Him with a joyful heart.
