Sermon - Ryan McCoy - Gifted and Giving [1 Corinthians 12]
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Body of Christ is living and connected, doing unseen work, unnoticed and unpraised, making the wheels turn.
If you have professed Jesus as Lord, then the Holy Spirit is at work within you. You've been given a gift and a calling.
Without you and the application of your gifts, the Body of Christ is not whole. You are capable, wanted, and part of the work we are doing here at FB Shreveport.
All of our gifts come from the same God. In discovering our spiritual gifts, first pray and listen. Try things out. Seek guidance from other more seasoned believers.
Paul uses the imagery of the body to illustrate how we are supposed to operate as the Body of Christ- in harmony, functioning together, with one mission. Our gifts are not in competition, but cooperation. Each of us has a role to fill.
Following Jesus in isolation doesn't work. Don't bury your gifts. We need you! YOU are the Body of Christ!
