Your Gift Can Change The World

Main message: The church will awaken and impact the world when believers identify and actively use the diverse gifts God has given them; illumination should lead to activation. Use your God-given gifts, don’t be discouraged by failures in areas that aren’t your gifting, and expect God to work through you.

Key points:

• God gives different gifts to different people and expects them to be used.
• Examples of gifts listed: prophecy, serving, teaching, encouraging, giving, leadership, mercy.
• Illumination is followed by activation — once you know your gift, jump in and serve.
• If you fail at something, don’t be discouraged; it may simply not be your gift.
• When you use your gifts God can work through you, bringing transformation and blessing.

Scriptures mentioned: Romans 12:6-8
