Over the next serval days I will get to serve with a great team at Martinsville Speedway as NASCAR is in town. Three races. Lots of fans. So many snacks and cups of coffee. Helping ADA fans. And so much more.
Why do we do this? Why do we volunteer our times, energy and efforts? Thanks for asking.
Serving them
Galatians 5:13 NLT
For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But donāt use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.
The best way to let someone know that God loves them is to serve them. The greatest way to find your passion in life is to serve others. That is why we serve!
Sharing with them
1 Thessalonians 2:8 NLT
We loved you so much that we shared with you not only Godās Good News but our own lives, too.
Good news. The best news of all is that God loves people, and we serve and share so that people will come to know God. We get to have conversations about the one who matters most. That is Jesus. That is why we share!
Savoring the moments
Ephesians 5:16 NLT
Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
We live in a broken world where evil is all around us. People need to know that there is still good in the world and still people who care. Because every moment has been given to us as a gift we savor the moments and use them wisely!
Savior for all
John 3:16 NLT
For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
It really is that simple. We love because God loved us. We share because Jesus died for us. We savor the moments because we have the opportunity to let others know that they matter because God loves each and every one. We serve because of the goodness of God and His gift of a Savior!
Join us at the speedway if you are in the area. Thursday through Sunday there are lots of opportunities. Sunday at 10am Raceway Ministries will have a worship service that will encourage race fans to come to know Jesus. Through each day we will have conversations about our Savior with the people we will interact with.
Pray for Raceway Ministries and those of us serving at Martinsville Speedway this week!
