Heart and Soul | Week 3 | Romans 12:3-8
October 6, 2012
Every believer receives spiritual gifts through God's grace, and those gifts are meant to strengthen others' faith. Billy Shiver explores Romans 12:3-8, beginning with a humble understanding of ourselves and the church as Christ's body. Salvation rests on Jesus' work rather than personal achievement, leaving no room for pride or comparison. Different members serve different functions, yet share one Lord and purpose. Instead of becoming preoccupied with naming a gift, listeners are encouraged to serve, notice what they enjoy and do well, and seek feedback from fellow believers. The invitation is to trust Christ, participate in a local church and help others grow.
