QUOTES:

“To glorify something or someone is to praise, enjoy, and delight in them. When something is useful you are attracted to it for what it can bring you or do for you. But if it is beautiful, then you enjoy it simply for what it is. Just being in its presence is its own reward. To glorify someone is also to serve or defer to him or her. Instead of sacrificing their interests to make yourself happy, you sacrifice your interest to make them happy. Why? Your ultimate joy is to see them in joy.” — Tim Keller

“God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him.” —John Piper

“In light of Ps. 96, I Peter 2:9 and I Cor. 14:23-26, we have to conclude that what happens in church can, by its very nature, be a powerful promotion of the gospel. Our songs, or creeds, our prayers, our sermons, our testimonies and perhaps even the “weekly notices” are all announcements of the wonders of God. As such, they not only inspire the regulars; they can also help visitors realize what believing in Christ is all about. At heart, I am an evangelistic preacher and writer; these are my skills and passions. But I can honestly say that in the years I worked as a local church pastor, I saw as many visitors join God’s people through the regular Sunday service as I did through my more deliberate evangelistic preaching and programs. It was a humbling experience for an evangelist.” — John Dickson, The Best Kept Secret of Christian Mission, p. 170

“Their common life was marked by praise of God, joy in the faith, and sincerity of heart. And in it all, they experienced the favor of the nonbelievers and continual blessings of God-given growth.” – John Polhill

Serving Others Together

September 22, 2024 • Pastor John Klumpp • Matthew 5:14–16

Our third core value at Wellspring is serving others together, the idea that God calls upon His people to share time, treasures and talent for the betterment of the Church and for His glory. In doing this, we demonstrate who Jesus is and what He does. Our freedom from the bondage of sin empowers us to accomplish this in His name. How is God leading you to serve Him and His people?

God created us with a deep need for connection—not just casual friendships, but meaningful relationships grounded in love and loyalty. As part of this fall's Core Values Series, we’ll examine this idea of "Doing Life Together:" learning how God calls us to live in community, support and draw strength from one another, and fulfill our purpose as the Body of Christ.
