Moving Forward: God’s Great Plans For Us
102 – Are Your Oars In The Water?
Romans 12:3-8
June 24th, 2018

Key Idea:

God asks all of us to get into the boat and start paddling.

Romans 12:3-8

1) Do what God has called you to do.

There is no room for pride (12:3)
Your role may be different, but is equally important (12:4-8)

2) Find your gift, ability, and calling, and serve in it.

God has designed you to serve, for such a time as this. (Esther 4:14)

 

Romans 12:3-8 New International Version (NIV)

Humble Service in the Body of Christ

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
