Are there steps you need to take right now?  We encourage you to take action and follow the leading of the Lord according to His Word, by His Spirit, and through the counsel of brothers and sisters in the body of Christ.  Please don't hesitate to ask for prayer or speak to the Elders, Deacons, Staff, or other ministry leaders an any numbers of these topics.  As one local family of the body of Christ, we want to build one another up in love, spur one another on to love and good works, and encourage one another to be obedient to our Father in heaven.  It is with this mindset, that we bring before you several opportunities and possible "next-steps".  As you explore the list below, entrust yourself to the Lord and prayerfully consider if any of these resonate with how He is guiding and directing you as you act in obedient faith.

 

Ephesians 4:11-13
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Matthew 4:18-22
While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
