2. She Hath Done What She Could Mark 14:8
Serving God Where You Are
With What You Have
Presented by Chris Reeves * North Valdosta church of Christ * Gospel Meeting * November 8, 2011

3. Busy Serving or Discouraged?
Local churches can become discouraged and stop serving, stop growing
They look back at the way things were
They look around and compare with other local churches (size, age, leadership, etc.)
We need to learn to serve God where we are now, with what we have now

4. Serving Where You Are With What You Have
By the Spirit of God (Ezra 3:12; 4:5,24; Zech. 4:6-10)
By using what God gives you (Mt. 25:14-30)
By sacrifice and courage (Mk. 14:3-9)
By focusing on self, not others (Jn. 21:20-23)
By offering what is most needful (Acts 3:6)
By working within your ability (Acts 11:29; 2 Cor. 8:12)
By focusing on service, not size (Rev. 3:8)

5. Serving Where You Are With What You Have
Stop looking back and start serving
Stop comparing with others and start serving
Overcome discouragement and serve God where you are with what you have (Rev. 3:12)
