We believe that Sunday mornings are more about God giving to us than they are about us worshiping Him. This is not to say we don’t worship God. On the contrary, our true worship lasts all week! We are living sacrifices created as God’s workmanship to love and serve our neighbors (Romans 12:1 Ephesians 2:10). We do this in our various vocations in life. We all have divinely ordained callings in life. We have family vocations (mother, son, uncle, sister). We have career vocations (nurse, farmer, accountant, student). We have churchly vocations (pastor, layman, musician, Sunday School teacher). We have civil vocations (citizen, mayor, volunteer). We understand that in these vocations we are the masks of God. God is using us to take care of His world. Through us, God continues His very real and physical mode of operation. Therefore, our lives and jobs really aren’t about our pleasure, nor are they about earning some favor with God. They are daily sacrifices to love and serve those around us. After all, God doesn’t need our good deeds in heaven, but our neighbors here on earth sure do! Our lives are lived for our neighbor as God uses us to love them.
