Community-ship – Part 3: Gifting

God did not design the Christian life to be lived alone. He has given every believer specific spiritual gifts, not for personal benefit, but to serve the people around them. These gifts are described across three key New Testament passages: Ephesians 4, Romans 12, and 1 Corinthians 12. Together, they paint a picture of a church that functions like a human body, where every part plays a unique and necessary role. Every believer is part of a royal priesthood, called to serve the body of Christ through their gifts. Recognizing your gift is only the first step. The real work begins when you respond by actually using it. You will not discover your gifts from the sidelines. You have to show up, serve, and let God reveal what He has placed in you.
