Weekly Challenge: Serving Others

Life Group Community:
Awesome discussion on Saturday.  The theme was USING YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS TO SERVE OTHERS


Our study was on Romans 12:1-8.  We discussed some different kinds of spiritual gifts and how our individual gifts fit together to make up the body of the church.  It is only when we work together that the body works as a whole to further the kingdom of God.


My challenge to you this week is to conduct this brief audit of where you stand when it comes to using your spiritual gifts to serve others.

MY PLAN FOR SERVING

Life Group Involvement: “All to service; some to leadership.”
            If God has gifted and called you to be a leader, where are you leading?
            If God has gifted and called you to be a servant, where are you serving?
