Using Your Ablilities

Pastor Dennis quoted Romans 12:6 in his message about our abilities. Going through the Scriptures, I read the verses surrounding this verse and felt the importance of knowing our God given abilities.

Romans12:4-8 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. 8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.

It's not just for us to know what we do well...it helps us function in the Church and therefore helps us bring hope to the world.

Let's do what we do well for Jesus!
