Serving
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.
1 Pet. 4:10
1 Pet. 4:10
The Bible teaches that God gives his children good gifts in order that we may serve one another for the common good and for His glory. These are not just good gifts, they are varied gifts, meaning each of us is uniquely gifted by God to serve Christ’s church in different and significant ways. (1 Pet. 4:10)
This means that we need each other, we have a responsibility to each other, and that when we work together to serve one another we are all able to grow up into Him together.
Ephesians 4:11–16 - "And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.”
With this in mind, we encourage members to find a place to serve here in order to use our gifts for the good of others.
