Thesis: True Christian service is demonstrated when we acknowledge that our gifts are not for personal gain but for the edification and support of our spiritual community, thereby embodying God's rich grace through purposeful stewardship.
Introduction: God calls us to be stewards of his grace, serving one another selflessly.
1. We are each uniquely gifted by God for serving others, as stated in 1 Peter 4:10. A. These gifts are not to be used for self-glorification, but for edifying the body of Christ. 2. Our fallen nature often tempts us to use our talents for personal gain rather than serving others. A. Our call is to resist this temptation in order to embody Christ-like humility. 3. True Christian service requires us to recognize and actively use our gifts for the benefit of our spiritual community. A. By doing so, we reflect God's varied grace to others, following Jesus' example in Matthew 20:28.
Conclusion: Embrace your gifts as a call to serve selflessly, using them to uplift, support, and demonstrate God's grace to others.
