MY SERMON NOTES
@ Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN)
Holy Communion Service
14th September, 2014
* Speaker: Rev. David Kwamkur
* Topic: Use Your Spiritual Gifts
* Text: Romans 12:4-8
* Note: One person is not a 'Church'
* The Church is a corporate entity made up of Separate individuals
* Everybody is expected to utilize his/her gifts in order to edify the body
* There is no single believer without a spiritual gift...
* As a believer, you don't have to ask for spiritual gifts . . . They are freely invested in you by the Holy Spirit
* Your responsibility is to discover and utilize Your gifts
* Opportunities to serve the Church are good avenues to discover your spiritual gifts
* It is not a Crime not to have the type of gift that someone else possesses
* Your spiritual gift is given to you based on what God has purposed you to do
* If you do not use your gift, the Church will suffer and God Will hold you responsible for that lapse
★ My Additional Thoughts:
→ When you refuse to utilize your God-given gifts and talents, God will one day hold you accountable
→ God will always raise other people to fill up the vaccum you created by failing to use your spiritual gifts for the advancement of God's kingdom on earth, the benefit of other believers, and the edification of the Church
* NOTE: You are important to God, but you are not indispensable
