Every Member a Minister - Pastor Nathan, September 28th
Today we explore the powerful concept of 'Every Member a Minister.' This message challenges us to recognize that each of us, filled with the Holy Spirit, has been given unique gifts and abilities to serve in God's kingdom. We delve into 1 Corinthians 12, which beautifully illustrates how the church functions as a body with many parts, each essential and valuable. This scripture reminds us that our differences are not divisions, but divine design for a purpose. As we reflect on this, we're called to consider: How are we using our God-given gifts to minister to others? Are we embracing our role in the body of Christ? This message encourages us to step out of our comfort zones, recognize the authority and ability God has given us, and actively participate in building up the church and reaching the world for Christ. It's a reminder that our faith journey isn't just about personal growth, but about how we can contribute to the larger tapestry of God's work in our community and beyond.
