Do Good Things

1Peter 4:10, 11a

"God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to Him forever and ever! Amen."

1. Experience ADVENTURE In serving 

a.      Experience fulfillment & growth through serving. ::Find Purpose :: Legacy //FLM Volunteer Vision

You have God given talents that God planned for you to flourish in! In this busy holiday season lean on God for the "strength and energy that God supplies" because you are not in FLM by mistake.

You are doing good things.

You are leaving a legacy for the next generation.

You are serving a purpose.

If you're not feeling a sense of adventure, fulfillment or growth in your volunteer role take a moment and ask God what talents has he given you and how can you better use them in FLM!

Remember you're a piece of art that's never quite finished. We love to see you grow as a leader by giving you new roles and responsibilities. We are so glad God brought you to FLM to make a difference in the  families at Coastline.

"And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns." 

Philippians 1:6

Psalm 116

Hey team!
Psalm 116 is such a rejuvenating passage! You can follow this link >  Psalm 116 < to read the Psalm.

Remember the moment of your salvation and the feelings that came. Today, be reminded of what God has saved you from & use that as a fuel for the passion you have to see others saved- young & old! That's what every Sunday is about for our team! Thank you for making that possible and letting God use you !

Praying for you all today,
Ashley Kingdon

Contentment

"I have learned the secret of being content in any

and every situation, whether well fed or hungry,

whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything

through Him who gives me strength."

Philippians 4:12-13

Content. That's an interesting word. It is basically a state of heart in which you would be at peace if God gave you nothing more than He already has. It is being able to accept the situation as it is and know that God will give you the strength to get through it.

Contentment is not easy, but in it we will find rest and peace knowing that God is in control.

In the holiday season and in a world that tells you that you'll never have enough, let's try to trust in God and find joy that He is here, Emanuel "God With Us."

Happy Holidays!

Thanks for all you do!

Hope

Hey Guys & Gals!
I came across a great devotional that inspired me and I wanted to share.

But as for me, I will always have hope;

I will praise you more and more.

My mouth will tell of your righteousness,

of your salvation all day long,

though I know not it's measure.

Psalm 7:14 - 15 NIV

Hope. A simple word. A powerful truth. A miraculous healing medicine. That is what hope means to me. The actual definition for hope is: Something good that you want to happen in the future, or a confident feeling about what will happen in the future.

Living each day with hope can change your entire outlook. I can't imagine life without hope. What an impact it would be in your life and the people around us if we lived with the firm, strong, grounded hope that comes from knowing God's goodness and salvation for us. That He hopes we will live life to it's fullest.

I know we as a team have plenty of "Hopes" for the soon coming two services. And just like the writer of this Psalm I will continue to hope in the good things, to praise God for his blessings on our church, the opportunity to tell others twice in one day of the hope of His righteousness and salvation!

Will you hope with me?
