Can God do something new through you?!
One of the beautiful things that God has given us, is the ability to have a creative imagination. Every child of God has a creativity, that simply needs to be discovered & encouraged to grow.
The Ultimate Creator is God. Nothing matches, nor even comes close, to God's creative majesty!
We have been created by God, in God's image and likeness (Genesis 1:26-27; 5:1); the angels (Hebrews 1:5), the animals, the plants and the planets have not been.
In our "Creative Offerings" time, we pray for 2 things to happen:
1 - people exploring their creative ability
2 - people expressing themselves to God
Every person needs encouragement to explore their God-given creativity and a place to pour out. If a Christian has these, then that Christian may have a better chance of beautifully flourishing, to become the child of God that the Lord has created that person to be! Creative Offerings seeks to fulfill this need.
It's a time where participants can have fun and learn to lean on Jesus, as He may “put new wine into new wineskins” (Matthew 9:16-17) that He might do something new with you!
This is how we envision our Creative Offerings time:
ANYBODY: anybody can come up, young or old, one at a time to give a "creative offering" to God.
ANYTHING: these are only some of the many ideas, but a person can recite a poem, sing a song, say a prayer, do a skit, do a drama, do spoken word, play an instrument, rap, creative free flow, or whatever the Lord would put on that person’s heart to offer up to God. Groups can also offer up something collectively too. Simply let the focus of the offering be upward towards God, and not outward towards others.
EVERYTHING: everything is done to glorify God. Also, a person’s creative offering would not have to require the usage of a microphone.
NO PRESSURE: there’s no pressure. Everyone is invited, everybody can give a creative offering to God, and people can also sit in and be blessed without any pressure to express themselves.
NOT "OPEN MIC": typically, "Open Mic" events put the focus on the individual(s), where a person grabs an opportunity to show off and to receive glory. Creative Offerings is different, as each person seeks to offer something to God.
