Everyone has something to offer Building the church in the 21st Century

God made you unique You are unique With a unique contribution to make Be LIKE Jesus in His relationship with God His character His attitudes and values With a unique contribution to make Depending on your character, your giftings, your season, your opportunities, and your willingness to serve

God made you to work in faith Faith is sometimes not being totally sure Your ‘gifting’ is one thing, but your leading and discernment are vital 1 Cor 12 we find the Corinthians getting an answer to a question they sent Paul about spiritual things They weren’t just asking about spiritual gifts, but about the whole art of spirituality Rom 12 we are to use our gifts (charismata – graces, favours) according to our faith There’s no room for arrogance in using any grace from God Every usage should involve some measure of faith

God’s agenda It is God’s agenda that matters That is an act of faith It’s saying I trust what He is doing, how He is doing it and why He is doing it It’s also saying I want to be used by God to enable His agenda for me, for my family, for my neighbours, for my friends, for my community, for my country, for His world God’s agenda works by grace through humility (Rom12;3)

Humility

God’s agenda It is God’s agenda that matters That is an act of faith It’s saying I trust what He is doing, how He is doing it and why He is doing it It’s also saying I want to be used by God to enable His agenda for me, for my family, for my neighbours, for my friends, for my community, for my country, for His world God’s agenda works by grace through humility (Rom12;3) Christians are called to be the living sacrifices that show that a life lived by faith is not wasted, inconsequential or insignificant

God’s measuring stick A life measured by faith How does He want me to use what He has given me today? In work, in words, in silence, in bringing grace and truth to other people

Everyone has something to offer Each one is responsible hearing what and how much and when
