1. Spiritual Gifts: The Christian's Sacrifice of Service

With this Message we begin a series of messages looking at the nature of the Christian life.

. In SUMMARY fashion, the Apostle (under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit) is setting for the fundamental character and conduct of Christian believers. Some of these gifts and duties are official and find themselves fulfilled in the special offices in the church… pastors, elders and deacons… but even these are part of the gifting that on a certain level is shared all believers. Most of the virtues or qualities required by leaders are not unique to the office, but are to be shared and common among all God's people.

Romans 12 is a primary source for a right regard and respect for Christian Service and Devotion.

THEME: God calls us to become Living Sacrifices to Him.
