A message from the series "Sunday Service." In our lesson today I want to bring some encouragement from the story of the
Apostle Paul to his friends at Ephesus. As Brother Keith “Called Out the Called” two
weeks ago (using the calling of Moses as his text), I want to piggy-back on that to
emphasize that we are ALL called (and GIFTED) to do something! We are all
ministers together in some capacity. Each one of us has some gift that Christ has
given us for the benefit of each other! Together! Paul emphasizes that together the
believers all became one in Christ, and as the body of Christ they were living in the
story of God.
As a church we have a choice. We can either serve Christ in our own power or we can follow Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Scripture at times differentiates this by talking of the flesh and the spirit. Are we serving God out of our own power, and our own resources, the flesh or are we serving God, trusting in His power and His resources?
