Village Baptist "A" Team

23 Feb 2010 06:26 pm

It is my goal and my dream "that Jesus may come to be first place in everything," just as it says in Colossians 1:18. First in our hearts; first in our thoughts; first in our desires; first in our families; first in our careers; first in our friendships; and certainly first in our church. I call our Sunday School Leadership the "A" team because we are to be out front leading others to put Christ first in their lives. Many will come to know Christ as their personal Savior and will make Him Lord of their lives because of your commitment to putting Christ first in all things. Afterall it was Jesus who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists and some to be pastors and teachers. In Sunday School we need those gifts. We need those who have the special ability of winning people to Christ. We need those who can help others trust Jesus as their Savior. We need those who have the gift of caring for God's people as a shepherd cares for his sheep. We need those who can lead and teach the ways of God. We need those with the gift of intercession who can lead us to take all things to our God in prayer. We need those who have the gift of hospitality and can lead us to develop stronger bonds with one another through fellowship. We need those who can keep us on track through clerical and administrative skills. "Why is it that God has given us these special abilities to do certain things best? It's so that God's people will be equipped to do better work for Him, building up the church, the body of Christ, to a position of strength and maturity," according to Ephesians 4:11-12. Let's put Christ first in everything as the Village Baptist A Team
