Hi, WOGFC Family! Sowtember continues, and this week we’re reminded that some of the most valuable seeds we can sow are ourselves. Our time, our availability, our gifts, our consistency, and our willingness to serve can all become seeds God uses to impact someone else. Service isn’t always convenient or visible. Sometimes it requires us to keep showing up when no one applauds, to remain committed when the assignment becomes uncomfortable, and to follow God even when we don’t fully understand where He is leading. But faithful service is never wasted. God uses every season of serving to develop our character, increase our capacity, and prepare us for what’s ahead. So as we continue sowing Our Seed, For Souls, and In Our Service, let’s ask ourselves: Am I willing to serve wherever God needs me? This week, let’s show up with willing hearts, open hands, and a determination to remain faithful. Keep serving. Keep following. Keep sowing. Don’t quit before something falls!
This Week's Message Serve Until Something Falls *Scripture Reference:* 2 Kings 2:1-13 (NIV) Pastor Mitch continued our Sowtember journey with a powerful challenge to examine our willingness to serve, follow, and remain faithful to the assignment God has given us. In 2 Kings 2, Elisha repeatedly had opportunities to stop following Elijah. Yet every time Elijah told him to stay behind, Elisha refused to leave. His commitment carried him from Gilgal to Bethel, Jericho, and finally the Jordan and at each stop, God was developing something within him. Elisha’s journey reminds us that our calling must become more important than our comfort. This message has 4 key points: Gilgal — Roll With God There are seasons when following God requires flexibility. Bethel — Serve in His House Bethel reminds us of the importance of serving faithfully in the house of God. Jericho — Serve Until It’s Dark There will be moments when serving becomes difficult. Jordan — Follow Even When You Don’t Know How Sometimes God will lead us to places where our ability ends and faith has to take over. Our responsibility is simply to keep following. This week, intentionally sow yourself through service. Look for an opportunity to serve in your home, God’s house, your community, or someone else’s life without needing recognition or anything in return.
