Within the church, there are those who seem to settle for “good enough” when it comes to the living out of their faith. “As long as we get to heaven when it’s all done, that’s all that matters, right?” But the picture that the Bible paints of life in the body of Christ is much richer than “good enough.” Because He is our good Father, God desires that we grow as His children, and that we would grow in the use of the gifts He has given us. As we do so, the world gets an ever-clearer picture of the goodness of God, and we get a glimpse of the life that we have been made and redeemed for – the life that we will possess and enjoy forever as heirs of the new creation in Christ. Today’s message is “We Grow Our Gifts Together,” the final message in our five-part series called “Gifted for More.”
