Pastor Jayson Workman

South Gate — April 10, 2022

 

Introduction:

Each and every one of us has been uniquely created to serve God.

1. Plea for sacrificial service (v. 1)

            When was the last time you surrendered your life to God?

1. Picture of diversity (vv. 3–5)

There is greater strength and potential in diversity, not in similarities.

1. Power of distinction (v. 6) 

1 Peter 4:10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace. . . .

 

John Henry Newman, the author of Lead, Kindly Light, said, “God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not created to another. He has not created me for naught. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him. If in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. If in sorrow my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about!”
