Sunday Reflections and This Week at the Grove 3.22.10

Mar 22

Big Idea:
God has given you a spiritual gift to be used to build up the body and make Jesus known!

Scripture memory:
1 Corinthians 12:4-6 (ESV)

4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;
5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord;
6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.

Action Step:
This week prayerfully consider where you can volunteer and serve so that you may better understand and discover your spiritual gifts.
