I reflect on my relationship with Christian Life Center in Gridley.
When I was a youth director at The Father’s House in Live Oak for eight months, the church needed guest speakers. My church recommended me, and I had the opportunity to preach a few times.
The first time, I preached about the Holy Spirit.
The second time, I preached about pastoral qualities.
The third time, I preached on “Strengthening Our Vital Signs.”
Taking on these opportunities helped me reflect on my preaching and develop a heart for service during a time when the church was in need.
