2. Tourist or Sailor? Discovering Your Role in God’s Family 1 Corinthians 12 Pastor Bob Baker Trinity Alliance Church

5. 10 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:10-11 NIV

6. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV

9. THE BIG IDEA: God has given gifts to His children to build up His body, to make it mature and complete, to be an environment of transformation!
