Communicating God's Love to a Hurting World!



 In Jesus Christ God gives us our identity, our purpose and our meaning in this life and in the life to come.1 Peter1:1-12 

● How to be "rooted", "grounded" and "grow" and so rise to the top of your "field"...and "bloom" where you are "planted" in your neighborhood, world and career...using your "Passion", "Abilities", "Gifts", "Strengths" and prior "Experiences" God has gifted you with. 
●"The Lord created each of us individually with different Spiritual Gifts, Passions, Abilities, Strengths and a unique Personality with different Experiences. Helping people with the puzzle and putting the pieces together so we each can be most effective in our families, church, community and the world and finish our lives well and leave a legacy that gives glory to the LORD so when we stand before Him one day, we will hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."​ 

● Mobilizing the body of Christ globally to join Jesus in His mission, especially among the least-reached peoples, transforming lives, relationships & communities. Reaching the "Unreached People Groups" in the 10/40 window. There are endless opportunities to help complete the Great Commission, whatever your interests and abilities are.

 "I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve."-Albert Schweitzer
The Journey of Life:  To Be God's people..."Embodying the love of Jesus Christ in the city and the world"!

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10 
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:24-25

Ability to see with the eyes of God, think with the mind of Christ, and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit! 

A good prayer!

Have a great day!

You are special!

Combining our Spiritual Gifts and Strengthsfinder 2.0 "Strengths" in a meaningful way to change the world!

Interesting in volunteering or starting a new ministry?

Looking to start a small group ...up to 6 people, in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, to possibly discuss one or more of these books... or parts of...applying principles and wisdom to our lives...Ministry, Career, Job, Business, Nonprofit, Church and of course to our Families!

Also, willing to meet individually with anyone at Holy Grounds cafe and explore options...I'm a good listener.

I'll even buy you a cup of coffee!

As a believer in Jesus Christ and desiring to be a good steward and a faithful "follower" of Jesus on our way to glory...we can be a light for others to see the Truth. 

 ●"The Lord created each of us individually with different Spiritual Gifts, Passions, Abilities, strengths and a unique personality with different experiences.  Helping each other put the pieces of the seeming puzzle together so we each can be most effective in our families, church, community and the world and finish our lives well and leave a legacy that gives glory to the LORD so when we stand before Him one day, we will hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

Anyone in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area interested in meeting to review, discuss, etc. how the ideas, principles in any of of the books shown below... might apply to the challenges in our Lives, Ministry, Career and or Family?   



 


 Blessings

Richard

Response to Pastor Jim Caler's sermon: Transforming Faith...Anyone interested?

 If you live in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area...an opportunity...

But you can put these principles into practice wherever you live.

Thanks Pastor Jim Caler for your sermon today...bottom line...Power of 3...For personal transformation!

Pastor Caler's sermon


Pastor Jim's CTA (Call to Action) was "Promise of Three".
3 people getting together for personal transformation.

My thought or response is built on it and is a hybrid.

A few good books I have read and or re read in past years (See complete list & pictures of books on blog post):


A few good books I have read or re read recently

 


Looking for a small group ...up to 6, to possibly discuss one or more of these books... or parts of...applying principles and wisdom to our lives...Ministry, Career, Job, Business, Nonprofit,Church and of course to our Families!


You don't have to read or have read book(s).



Or bring your own book that you would like to share with us...

This does NOT take the place of reading the best book: The Bible!


Also, willing to meet individually with anyone at Holy Grounds cafe.
Let's meet individually and explore options...I'm a good listener.


This "idea" is actually about 7 years old. See a blog post from the past.

Blessings,
Richard
