1. 3 years together turns into 30 when YOU know YOU MATTER greatly to God!
1 Corinthians 12:14-17...
14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?
How much do you MATTER?

- Rational-thinking!

- Retaliation!
- Reassurance!
- Restoration!

Ephesians 2:8-10...
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Every member has a huge part to play in the good works God has prepared. Are you doing your part?
2. 3 years together turns into 30 when every member MINISTERS.
1 Corinthians 12:18-24a...
18 But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as He chose. 19 If all were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require.

“To minister means to actively join or socialize with others. So, in ministry it means I physically & spiritually join my talents, my gifts and my heart with yours to see the church grow. We are each called to do ministry where we do life. If I can minister in my world while you minister in your world – the worst thing that can happen is our worlds collide and we do life with more people.”
You have ministered well for three years now. Do we have what it takes to go the distance?
Ministry is the heartbeat of each CONNECTION Group & each ministry area.
- It shouldn’t be done with a mindset of us 4 and no more.
- Aren’t you glad Jesus didn’t see ministry in this way?
- If so, there’s no room for you or me.
- Your ministry mind-set matters.

What are some ways you can get your social circle to mix & mingle with your church circle to see ministry happen more regularly?
3. 3 years turns into 30 when “WE” matters more than “ME!”
1 Corinthians 12:24b-27...
24 But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
Look at those words that speak volumes about “WE” over “ME”:
- No division
- Same care for one another
- One suffers – all suffer
- One honored – all rejoice
- This has helped us get to our 3 Year Mark...we celebrate it today.

Do you matter more than others?
Have you made church more about you than Him or them?
Are you using your Spiritual Gifts for more than just spiritual clout?
