Sermon Greeley "S.H.A.P.E. & Abilities"

2021 Follow Me; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

May 16, 2021

Each of us is given abilities, talents, and skills. Some come naturally, while others come through hard work and practice. For many of us, our talents and skills might be untapped, undeveloped, or unrecognized. However, lacking specific skills and talents does not give us an excuse to avoid serving. Thankfully, God has blessed us with countless opportunities to discover what our abilities are and use them for his glory and the benefit of our community. Your abilities are a critical aspect of your unique S.H.A.P.E. and a way to live out your calling.

We will continue our "Majoring in the Minors" summer series as we dive into the compelling book of Haggai with our sermon, "First Things First."

How often are we, as 21st-century American Christians, distracted by our own "paneled houses" at the cost of spiritual growth and community engagement? This sermon will not only prompt a reflection on our priorities but also motivate us to align our daily actions with the values of God's Kingdom. Don’t miss this vital message about what it really means to put "First Things First."
