The Serving Church: When it's not about you it can be about Him (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781480070257)

You were made for something more. Deep inside you know it's true. Getting up, going to work, coming home, and going to bed isn't doing it for you. You long for a life that matters. What will people say about you when you're gone? Will they even notice that another cog in the corporate machine is missing? Will people instead talk about the difference you made in their lives? Will anyone say, "My life is better for having known her" or "I'd be so much worse off if he hadn't given of himself?" The path to significance and meaning isn't paved with dollars or fame. It's paved with sacrifice and humility. While some people make a difference through their own selfishness, at the expense of others, most of us can put aside our plans and ambitions and really make a difference, a difference that outlasts our lives, a difference that changes lives and affects generations. This book is for every Christian or Christian leader who serves in the church, wants to, or leads people who do. Do you know why you serve? What do you do when it's difficult to do what you know God is calling you to do? Can you really serve in the same church for the rest of your life? What about money? Should people who serve be paid? We'll discuss reasons for serving, the attitude to have, leadership, following, flexibility, being a part of a team, and much more. This is a unique book because the author isn't a Pastor or even paid staff. He's a regular guy who's been serving tirelessly for years and wants to share what he's learned with you. You can affect lives and eternities. Will you or will you stay comfortable on your couch affecting nothing? The choice is yours.
