Seeking to Serve God

Seeking to Serve God in your circle of influence for an audience of One.

Seeking to Serve God- Audience of One

Seeking to serve God entails cultivating a relationship with Him that matters most. It’s not about the platform you use, the followers you have, or how you behave. It’s about the condition of your heart in your relationship with Him. The closer you are to God, the easier you will serve Him better in your area of influence. You will forgive, obey and have a life of constant fellowship through prayer. To take the first step, take your eyes off yourself and focus on Him. Know where He calls you to serve and shine a light for Jesus on that field.

Join today’s conversation with me, Lisa, and my friend Shaunda, as we talk about the ways and benefits of serving God in your sphere of influence and serving Him to his glory as an audience of one. Since every believer has a purpose and mission, why not find yours and serve Him through it to His glory?

Notable Quotes: 

● We all have a gift. The gift is to share God’s love when we see an opportunity.

● We are called to be in the world but not of the world.

● Praying can be challenging, but that is the only thing that can change your life, make you grow, and help you become an effective child of God.

● Sympathy is feeling bad for somebody, and empathy is feeling their pain. But compassion is feeling their pain, sitting with them and providing anything to help them get through it. 

● God can, and God will if you are available for Him.

● God brings the right people at the right time and for the right purpose.

● You have to be knowing the Word in order to remind Him of His promises.

● Your first ministry as a lady is in your family. If something you do takes away six days from your household, you may reconsider praying about it.

About the Podcast

Faith with Friends
Christian Podcast for Women who want spiritual growth and deepen their walk with God.
Friends with Faith is all about progress not perfection. We are a circle of friends that desire to grow in our walk with Jesus. Here, we get together to think a little more about faith & love. Whether you’re a newcomer, or a lifelong Christian, you’ll hear thought provoking & stimulating conversation about all things faith: from growing your personal relationships, to your own spiritual growth and connection with God. We are walking out and working out our faith together in community. We share each others burdens, carrying them to the cross. We celebrate each other, building each other up for the good works God has prepared. If you struggle to be faithful in prayer and reading the Bible then we believe this is the podcast that will help you apply God's Word to everyday tasks and trials. We share what works for us and encourage you as we learn and grow together. We want to learn how to love God and others better. Welcome to our circle. Thanks for listening in!
