Missed Opportunity
We had an awesome service at church last night. Great worship…a time of celebrating communion and then we opened it up for people to use their gifts (1 Cor. 12:7). It was cool to see people step up to share words of knowledge…words of wisdom…prophesies…and praying for one another.
As a pastor it really gets no better than this.
Pastors if you are not giving your people the opportunity to do this you are really missing out. It’s easy to say “we are open to whatever the Lord wants to do” but are we?
That’s not the missed opportunity I want to confess to you however…
