VOLUNTEERING

God has blessed each one of us with different gifts and abilities.

In I Peter 4:10 we are instructed to, “...serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.”

Do you know your spiritual gifts? Everyone had a spiritual gift given to them by God. It is extremely important to our personal growth, as well as the overall life of a church, to recognize these gifts and to encourage their use. God has given us our gifts and He is the one who helps us identify, develop, and use them. We need to learn what our gifts are, embrace them, and then proceed to grow in them.

We are commanded by God to use our gifts (1 Peter 4:10). There are many special rewards reserved for you that use your spiritual gifts.
