Building Holy and
Healthy Lives
We live in a culture that increasingly leans toward commercialism, materialism, and secularism; it is not always easy to keep the soul nourished. The challenge of these days, when times are not hospitable to spiritual growth, is how to nurture, feed, heal, restore, and renew the soul.
Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, and ready for every good work.
God’s word also states that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Let us do what is necessary to take care of our bodies so that we can do the work of the ministry.
God’s Presence
God has promised always to be with us, but often we’re not aware of his constant presence in our lives. It’s easy to get so caught up in dealing with the demands of daily life that we don’t notice God at all, and we wonder when if we will ever experience the thrill of encountering him again.
The good news is that God loves to be close to us and wants us to know him better. If you long to experience more of God’s presence, you can take steps that will lead you closer to him, inviting him to make his presence each day.
Scripture exhorts us to cooperate with the Holy Spirit who indwells us in order to build spiritual muscles.
“In view of this ….supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. (2 Peter 1:5-7 ).
Let us be diligent and disciplined continually nourishing our souls on His precious word.
Each week our volunteers come together as a team and serve others at Global Community. All that we do could not happen without them. If you have ever been greeted when you arrive on campus, helped to know where to find a class, or reassured by an adult when you dropped your children off for activities, chances are it was a volunteer.
At Global Community, one of the traits of a Disciple is serving others. We believe that every growing follower of Christ should be using his or her gifts to serve others in some way. We have many different opportunities for you to serve based on your interests and gifting.
