God blesses each person with gifts by which we can be a blessing to the body of Christ. Trusting in the grace of God, we resist the temptation to either to deny our gifts or to overemphasize them at the expense and to the exclusion of the gifts of others – rather, we “think so as to have sound judgment,” acknowledging both the gifts that God has given us and the gifts that God has given others. We rejoice in serving with our gifts, and we praise God for His gifts at work in the lives of our brothers and sisters. Today’s message is “Everyone Is a Gift with Gifts” (Romans 12:3-8), the second message in our five-part series called “Gifted for More.”
