Summary
Serving in the local church through your God-given gifts, empowered by the Holy Spirit, brings glory to God and builds up the body of Christ. Every believer has been given spiritual gifts meant for others' benefit, not personal gain; service requires both dependence on God's supernatural power and humble cooperation with the Holy Spirit.
Highlights
When just a few of us are playing, the rest of us are missing you. And we would benefit from you.
You are not supernatural, but if you're a Christian, the Holy Spirit that dwells within you is supernatural.
Church isn't a restaurant, it's a family meal where everyone participates in the bringing of that meal, the consuming of that meal and the cleaning up afterwards.
