August 2, 2020 | 1 Corinthians 12
One of the most mind-numbing thoughts in the Christian faith is that God chooses to use the Church to further His Kingdom. He chooses broken, flawed and ordinary people like you and me to do His work. His calling isn’t for a small group of elite believers. No, every believer has a role and responsibility in the Kingdom of God. Will you answer the call?

Now to the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

What is the common good?

  1. Make Disciples
  2. Choosing to follow Jesus—Change
  3. Practicing healthy disciplines—Grow
  4. Doing life together—Connect
  5. Engaging needs locally, regionally, globally—Serve
  6. Reproducing disciples—Multiply

What is holding us back?

The word used for gifts stems from the Greek word for .

How do we get going?
