It is the Lord’s expectation (and of course mine as God’s priest in this place) that we are all making the age-old Christian pilgrimage from self-absorption to self-giving. By the power of the Holy Spirit working in us, we are learning to sacrificially give ourselves for the sake of others. Sacrificially giving of our time, talent and spiritual gifts for the sake of others is at the heart of what it means to be Kingdom People. This means that we are all challenged to grow in our discipleship, understand our callings, and pick our ministries. This journey toward self-giving is a journey toward Christ-likeness, because it is Jesus who is the ultimate giver and who sacrificially gave His life for the sake of all of us. This is our vision, because it is God’s vision.
