Ready for Every Good Work

Part 4: Vessels Are Made to be Useful

January 31, 2021 • Ryan Oddo

Tools have their purposes. You could use a screwdriver as a hammer, but it wouldn't be nearly as affective at that as it is at driving screws. More importantly, it's not available to fulfill its true purpose while its being used inconsistently with its design. Likewise, we've been made by a Creator with design and purpose. We get to choose to either misuse and abuse the way God has crafted us or make ourselves available to the Master. It's then that He can use us the way He truly intended to fulfill His work.

Part 3: Vessels Are Made to be Emptied

January 24, 2021 • Ryan Oddo

We all have gifts and talents. More than that, we all have a story. Last week we talked about how we are vessels made to be filled. Part of that filling is the things that we're good at, but part of that filling is simply our story. It's the word of our testimony. It's the places that we've failed and been hurt. As vessels made for honorable use by the Father we are also made to be emptied; to be poured out. We are made to share those stories and experiences and use our gifts and talents to bless others. That is honorable use for His Kingdom: when we use what we've been given to bless others and point them to Jesus.

Part 2: Vessels Are Made to be Filled

January 17, 2021 • Ryan Oddo

Pastor Ryan continues our series in 2 Timothy with a look at what we, as vessels, are filled with when we proclaim and follow Jesus. It's things that the Spirit is doing in and through us that change who we are from the inside into Kingdom people, equipped for the work of the saints.

Part 1: Vessels of Honor

January 10, 2021 • Cami Wittwer

Pastor Cami opens our new series and theme for 2021 of being ready. "Ready for Every Good Work" requires a posture of openness to the things of God and a willingness to allow His Spirit to work in us and cleanse the dishonorable things from our lives. We choose to position ourselves as vessels of honor, ready to do the work of the Kingdom when His voice calls on us.
