On the very first time that I decided to start the new FBGC church service in Point Cook, I feel worried about the possibility that it may not work for me. Moreover, I was also ordained to be the local pastor in this new community of believers. Although I have that desire in my heart and seeing the vision in my mind for what this church will look like, I really have no idea that I will serve as the pastor of this church, given my lack of experience in this field.
With my doubt, I did not stop to do what God has called me to perform. We open our home to serve as our initial venue for the opening of our church service, we organize according to what task each pioneering members can carry out, we plan for some activities that help us to grow as a church for both workers and members like Beginners Bible Class, organizing Cell Group for smaller group bible studies and fellowship, and many more. At this moment, we have just moved to a new place God has prepared for us to serve as new place of meeting with Him.
Truly God confirms to me that we are called to be qualified even if we are not. He also revealed to me that everything we do for God, let us just do it as what said in Ecclesiastes 11:5-6 that " 5 Just as you do not know the path of the wind, or how the bones form in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything. 6 Sow your seed in the morning, and do not stop working until the evening; for you do not know which activity will succeed - whether this one or that one, or whether both will prosper equally."
Therefore, I urge you to continue to serve in whatever God called you for - whether it is for a small or big task, for simple or complex roles, and for obvious or discreet service. As long as we do our part, God will also do His part. The success is not for us to think of as we do not really know how our God works.
God bless everyone!
