Be Good Stewards Of All We Receive

The Bible gives some serious warnings about living in the last days. As the time for Christ's return for His church draws ever closer we are warned to be clear-minded and self-controlled. We are exhorted to be sober in deed and watchful in prayer. We are to have fervent love for one another knowing that love covers a multitude of sins and we are to extend gracious hospitality to all those with whom we come in contact - and to do it without complaining.
Christians are given spiritual gifts to fulfil a special function within the body of Christ. Each member receives at least one spiritual gift and Peter calls us to be good stewards of all we receive from the Lord. Our gifts differ according to the grace God gives to each of us, and we are instructed to exercise them in accordance with the proportion of faith we have received.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit and for the spiritual gifts that we have been given by Your goodness and grace. We pray that we may be diligent to use the gifts and graces that have been given to us for the benefit of the body of Christ and for Your greater praise and glory - this we ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
