Gifted for Service Romans 12:3-8 (continued)
We dye to live. We live to dye. The more we live, The more we dye.
Soberthink 101: You’re not as great as you think you are.
Soberthink 102: You are amazingly gifted.
Romans 12:4–5 …in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
Every believer has at least one gift.
We don’t get to choose our gifts.
Spiritual gifts are to build up one another.
Romans 12:6–8 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;
if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
