Our passage in Exodus was 31:1-11. We learned that God chose Bezalel and equipped him with skills, with understanding, and with knowledge.
Then we read several passages to see how we are equipped. Every Christ follower...:
Created for ministry, to humbly serve and bless others, we are provided tools and gifts for our job, we are authorized for ministry, required to serve others, and we are needed as part of the team or body.
My challenge to you this week is to go over the handout from class with your spouse, or walk through it during a family meal. (the material is also provided below). I am very proud of Clay since he took the pink copy when he left! Don't use this handout as a checklist as a Christian, but use it as a way to thank God. Find joy in serving.
Be intentional this week.
