Be ready to serve
Today’s blog post is in response to my friend Nikki Lerner’s post called Always be ready to lead. You’ll see in the video how God used Nikki to serve in a different church unexpectedly.
Being a servant
Something I want you to know about my friend Nikki Lerner is that not only is she an experienced multicultural worship leader, vocalist, and musician…she has an incredible heart to serve others.
Last summer, at Proskuneo’s Worship Institute, I saw her spend a lot of time listening to students, pouring knowledge into students, and working with students to help them grow their gifts in the Lord. And that attitude seems to be carried wherever she is at any given moment.
Now, I’m not saying that Nikki’s perfect. I think she would be the first person to tell you that. But she is someone who is mature in her walk with the Lord. There’s no question about that.
This caused me to ask several questions of myself, which I invite you to ask of yourself:
1. Are the gifts that God has given us only for our local congregation?
2. How can we serve other congregations when we’re “just visiting“?
3. How we shine God’s light and bear the fruit of the Spirit wherever we are?
4. What does it mean to live a life of worship Monday through Saturday?
5. How does Mark 10:45 give us perspective on serving others?

Deaf Jam – American Sign Language Poetry
Deaf Jam Trailer from DeafJamdoc on Vimeo.
Today I want to invite you to take a look at this video. It caught my attention when I first saw it. Although, it’s not a Christian documentary, I believe we can appreciate the beauty of ASL poetry in this context.
It’s certainly sparked some questions within my heart:
1. How can this documentary how me understand and help me create a bridge to people in the deaf community?
2. How can this documentary give ideas for people in the church who know ASL and enjoy writing poetry?
3. How can we be encouraged and be an encouragement to believers in the deaf community?
4. Why aren’t we reaching out to the deaf community more?
