The Church is a gift
Dark Blue and Orange are important when you are in the Chicago area.
Purple and Gold are important when you are in the Baltimore area.
There is one set of colors that is not good in either place – Royal Blue and White.
This begs the question: What is your team color?
Now, I am not really talking about football here.
I am talking about the need for each of us to realize that we each need to:
Appreciate the church - GET IN THE SPIRIT
Go team Go!
Have you ever seen someone who was embarrassed to support their favorite team?
Not a true fan!
They could be 0-10, but a true fan will love their team, cheer their team and support their team to the bitter end?
1 Peter 4:10 - Each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.
Gift = This is the only use of the Greek word charisma in the NT outside of Paul’s writings
It your job to recognize that the Holy Spirit is the same in your hero as the same as in you.
You have a gift and you are the gift!
It may be a gift of singing, or teaching, or being able to play a musical instrument.
It may be the capacity to preach, or even mow lawns, wash windows, paint—whatever!
But you can be sure of this: God has given you a special gift.
But God has heard the excuses before.
How do I know?
Well, its in the story of Moses.
When we think of Moses, we usually think of a man who is a great leader, a great spokesperson, and a spiritual giant.
Moses, however, used a series of excuses to get out of what God was calling him to do.
Excuse #1 – I feel UNWORTHY!
Exodus 3:10-11 (NIV) - So now, go.
I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
God’s Response – Exodus 3:12 (NIV) - And God said, “I will be with you!”
2) Excuse #2 – I consider myself to be UNBELIEVABLE!
Exodus 4:1 (NIV) - Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”
God’s Response (#2) – “You leave it up to me to display the power of the message – you just deliver the message!”
3) Excuse #3 – I don’t have WHAT IT TAKES!
Exodus 4:10 (NIV) - Moses said to the Lord, “O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant.
I am slow of speech and tongue.”
Exodus 4:11-12 (NIV) - The Lord said to him, “Who gave man his mouth?
Who makes him deaf or mute?
Who gives him sight or makes him blind?
Is it not I, the Lord?
Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”
4) Excuse #4 – I feel INADEQUATE!
Exodus 4:13 (NIV) - But Moses said, “O Lord, please send someone else to do it.”
DESPAIR is just like today - it is the usual response to group gatherings today.
What is their protocol?
Remember, this is AFTER God proved to Moses over and over again that he ought not to feel inadequate…that God Himself was with him every step of the way!
Exodus 4:14 (NIV) - Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses...
But God still used Moses and gave Moses a sidekick named Aaron to help him.
God used Moses to lead His people out of Pharaoh’s group and to the Promised Land!
God has heard the excuses before and still commands you to use whatever gift each of you has received.
