1 Corinthians 12

The ministry fair we had last Sunday is a good example of the image that Paul uses in this chapter. I am very glad I am not in charge of all those ministries! In fact, I am not in charge of any of the ministries. If those ministries were dependent upon me to exist, it would not be good. But God does not call me as a pastor to do everything, God calls me to use my gifts in service. As God calls me, so God calls you to use your gifts. Those ministries are possible because a variety of people are using the gifts and abilities God has given them. The end result is a multitude of ministries that bless people's lives.

Spend some time today think about how God is calling you to serve.
