Abilities

Wednesday, October 13, 2010

Mr. Kevin steps in to teach us from the SHAPE series, "Abilities". Abilities determine how God wants you to serve Him. Gifts are actual qualities that God has given you. Without these abilities you couldn't carry out your gifts.

Have you ever asked, "What are you here for?"
Mr. Kevin has come up with a Top 10 List for Why You Came to Church...

1. Your friends are here & you want to make new friends.
2. You have fun playing on the playground with your friends.
3. You were invited by a boyfriend/girlfriend.
4. You like the music.
5. You like to look at people.
6. You wanted to get out of the house.
7. There was nothing on TV.
8. Don't want to do homework/Science Project.
9. You love the Van Drivers!
10. You came to church to hear the Word of God...to listen and spend time with God.

Enjoy your youth...it's the best time of your life! Mr. Kevin reflects back into his life to see what life was preparing for him. (He learned responsibility, leadership, his strengths, abilities & talents were all for the glory of God).

Biggest Obstacles of Growing Your Abilities:
Self-Confidence- having faith in your self and free from doubt. This type of faith inspires others.

How to Develop Your Self-Confidence:

1. Speak Up so people can hear what you got to say.
2. Praise & Encourage yourself daily.
3. Think positive thoughts.
4. Help others. (You can stop thinking about you and start thinking about others)

Go out and seek out people who smile, encourages others and that are positive! These are the qualities we should have as Christians!

What are you here for? Just for fun? The best ability you can have is...Availability! Be there for others!
