Values: All Are Ministers

Values: All Are Ministers

Pastor Aaron Sutherland

1. GOD'S GIFTS ARE ANCHORED IN OUR INDIVIDUAL CALL

Romans 12:4

“For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function..."

2. GOD'S GIFTS ARE AMPLIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY OF FAITH

Romans 12:5-6a

"...so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us."

3. GOD'S GIFTS ARE DEPLOYED FOR THE COMMON GOOD

Romans 12:6b-8

" If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully."
