Exiles In Our Land - Week 10

Oak Pointe Church • Novi

Going a Long Way in a Short Life

1 Peter 4:1-11

Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church

According to a study done in 2021, 1 in 4 Americans volunteer their time in nonprofit organizations. In a separate study done in 2023, it was reported that the percentage of church members who volunteer their time is about 1 in 5. While the numbers aren’t too different (and different studies yield varying results), that’s where the problem lies isn’t it?

As the body of Christ, giving our time and resources should involve every single one of us. Isn’t that what would make the world stop and stare? To see a group of people otherwise unacquainted spending their free time and talents on serving each other.

Tomorrow morning we will hear more about Peter’s letter giving instruction on how the church should live in a way that stands out from the world.
