OCTOBER
October brings a new focus to our ministry!
We are accepting donations of underwear: primarily Men's M, L & XL boxers/briefs. Please bring your unopened donations to the cafe drop-off spot by the front door anytime the church doors are open. We will be packaging them up and distributing them to the homeless in Atlanta in November!
serving with god's love
The mission of Salt and Light Ministry is to provide opportunities for our church to use our gifts to serve our local communities' spiritual and physical needs with God's love and to mature in following Christ.
THE WHY BEHIND THE WHAT
The Bible inspires us to serve with love, mirroring Christ's example.
There is so much in the Bible to inspire us in serving. It clearly gives us the how and why to do it. We are not called to serve as a self-sacrificial act of emptying ourselves to our detriment or to earn God’s love.
Instead we give out of the abundance of oneness with Christ and are being filled with HIS LOVE as we pour out.
-
John the Baptist emphasizes sharing with others and Biblical Justice.
-
Mark highlights Jesus's servant leadership.
-
1 Peter urges us to use our gifts for others, stewarding God's grace.
-
Matthew teaches that serving others is serving Jesus and brings us closer to Him.
-
Paul emphasizes serving with love as the core of our lives, reflecting God's love for us.
-
Serving builds relationships, glorifies God, and leads to greater spiritual maturity.
God is love.
Jesus came in love.
We were created in love.
As a result we operate with love! Everything we do is motivated by love and a desire to please God. These acts build relationships, bring people into the family, glorify our Father, bring us into greater maturity, and shows obedience which, above all, fosters love - agape love. In this love, we get a glimpse of the heart of our Father and stand among the stones of fire, the burning, passionate, indescribable Love of God.
