Who’s Your One?
We opened this topic a few weeks ago… The idea of praying for and beginning to be in conversation with one God lays on your heart.
I want to bring that back up today.
Your one may be a family member or a neighbor.
A co-worker or an old high school friend.
But what I’d like you to do during our prayer time in just a moment is to ask the Lord: Who is my one?
Who are you preparing to hear the words you say I should speak to them.
Let Him put them on your heart.
Hold them in prayer this week.
Look forward to the door opening when you get to talk to them.
God will prepare you and is preparing them.
We’ll talk more about it next week.
The exercise of spiritual gifts divorced from humility creates chaotic discord.
Imagine an orchestra where not one cares what anyone else is playing.
Kinda like warmup before the Elks spring concert coming up.
But humility is not not self-deprecation.
Just the lack of a need for power or recognition.
Measure of faith: it is both a gift and a fruit
Membership - (v5-6a msg) we are made for community.
Joining, not just attending, a local body of believers allows us to attach and engage.
It allows us to fulfill what we were made for.
That chopped off finger or cut off toe never amounts to much.
Membership - we are made for community.
Joining, not just attending, a local body of believers allows us to attach and engage.
It allows us to fulfill what we were made for.
That chopped off finger or cut off toe never amounts to much.
And understand this: when you are not here, you are missed.
Whether that is traveling, chasing kids, ‘enjoying nature’ or sitting at the house.
You are missed!
Members - belong to one another.
We dont gather so we can receive, but so we can give.
Talking about belonging to each other the idea of gifts
Whatever the gift is, it is given for the well-being of the body.
Not for display or selfish ambition.
But for the edifying of the body.
Not toys, but tools!
He is preparing a bride for Christ.
That’s the other comparison we receive about who we are together.
Do you think He isnt serious about who He presents to the Christ for eternity?
Without spot.
Without wrinkle.
So now how do we use them?
v6b msg Preachers are to preach only God’s message, nothing else.
Not preach politics.
Not preach opinions.
But to preach as though is is a word from God as well as about God.
v7a msg if you have the gift of Service is to serve.
If you help, just help- dont take over.
msg
Teaching is to teach.
Be good at passing along knowledge.
The gift of teaching is not for the purpose of the teacher but the learner.
A desire to have people learn...
Encouraging/exhorting offers guidance to the heart based on what we learn.
The warning is against insisting the receiver act on your advice.
‘A wise man seeks much counsel… a fool listens to all of it’ Larry Burkett You also have to know who you are giving the advice to...
Giving - real philanthropy doesnt have names on the sides of buildings.
Leading/governing - refusing to use the position for manipulating others but this is where the first exhortation is so important.
Dont think of yourself more highly than you ought, but with sober judgement.
Mercy/cheerfully - if you have been given the gift of mercy, it has to be a package deal.
Mercy requires a compassionate attitude.
Can you imagine volunteers showing up for food pantry only to gripe and complain about the clients the whole time they are ‘serving’?
It doesn fit.
So these gifts are used to benefit the body.
They are gifts, so we cant brag about them.
We didnt make them or earn them.
They are gifts.
But they are also not to be set on the shelf.
They are to be used.
