Using Your Gifts for God’s Glory
Opening Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for saving us through Jesus Christ and making us part of Your family. Thank You for giving each believer unique gifts, abilities, and opportunities to serve. As we study today, help us understand our calling to serve You and others. Teach us to use what You have entrusted to us faithfully, humbly, and for Your glory. May our lives reflect the love of Christ as we serve those around us.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
Primary Text
1 Peter 4:10-11
“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ…”
Introduction
Many believers wonder:
- Does God have a purpose for my life?
- Can God use me?
- Do I have anything valuable to offer?
The answer is yes.
Every believer has been saved for a purpose.
God not only saves people from sin, but He also calls them into a life of service.
Serving God is not reserved for pastors, missionaries, or church leaders.
Every believer is called to serve.
God has uniquely gifted each Christian to contribute to the growth of His church and the advancement of His kingdom.
