Making Your Life Count for the Kingdom

John Chow & Jarun Ngamvirojcharoen

 

God created us for a life of significance.  How can we grow in grace to make our life count for His kingdom wherever he may place us today?  Far too many of us have put our faith in a casual Christianity that never compels us to leave our comfort zones.  But, deep within our hearts we know that Christ has not called us to be simply comfortable, but to an exciting, sacrificial and overwhelmingly fulfilling faith.

 

In his book, If You're Going to Walk on Water, John Ortberg teaches us how to step out of the "boat" of casual Christianity so that we can faithfully follow the Lord who is calling us out onto the risky, exciting waters of the high seas. We will also have John Piper weigh in on this important subject via his book Don’t Waste Your Life. It’s a tragedy to waste and not fully use our God given talents as He intended. Let’s learn together and encourage each other to make our lives count for the kingdom, starting here at CBCM as we grow into the “One New English Congregation (ONEC)”.
