    • No matter how actively we seek to serve, our spiritual gifts will never work as planned until self is humbled for Him.
• BELIEVER’S CALLING
  Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
  • Diversity of the Body
    • Only one body
    • Many members
  • Distinctiveness of the Believers
    • Each member is different
    • Each member belongs to all
      Each needs to do their different responsibilities to make a ministry successful.
• CHRIST’S CALL
  We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
