To me, one of the coolest parts about faith is this – God wants us to do our part.

Think about it. God is the maker of all that is – both seen and unseen. There is nothing that has ever been created that God hasn’t made. God has all power in the universe. God is the ultimate authority in all of life. God is all in all.  He is it.

So, what does He need from us?  Nothing. And so, with the life of faith, you might thing that there’s not much we can do. There’s not much we have to do.

And yet, listen to what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1 this morning:

God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

God doesn’t need us for any thing in life.  He’s God. We are not.  But God wants us to be part.  God wants us to be faithful. God wants us to be part of His team, to be part of His body. To be part of what He’s doing.

He invites us into partnership with Him.  He doesn’t “need” it.  Just wants it.

Wow.  The God of the universe wants to work with us and use us.  God wants us to be part of what He’s doing.  He wants us to do our part for His kingdom.

Today, God wants you to join in.  Yes, you.  No matter what you may think of your own gifts or abilities, God thinks you are worthy to be part of what He’s doing.

No matter what you may have done wrong in the past, God thinks you are worthy to be part of what He’s doing.

Today, you are invited to be part of an amazing effort and team.  You are invited to be part of what God is doing.

He wants you to. Will you join in?  Will you be faithful?  Will you do your part?

You’ll find the life that you want so badly there.

Today, you are invited to join a partnership with God!
