THINGS WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE TO BE OF VALUE IN THE LORD'S WORK Some people are confused about ability to serve God Think to serve they must be preacher, elder, deacon, etc. Same work or fruit not expected of every individual Yet work is expected according to ability of individual In an effort to combat the problem of self-depreciation that Paul deals with in 1Cor 12:15-17 look at some things some seem to think are necessary, that we really don't have to have to be of value to the Lord

THINGS WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE TO BE OF VALUE IN THE LORD'S WORK ELOQUENCE OF SPEECH (forceful, fluent expression) Moses Ex 4: 10 Paul 1Cor 2:1-4 Not necessary to have years of training & experience Paul had no experience in the Gospel Began immediately to preach Acts 9:19,20 Had words of Holy Spirit (so do we)
