God's Grace to Serve

The beginning of the recording is a prayer from Ben Martin where we meditate on the goodness of Jesus as God who came to us and showed us mercy. This moment of worship reflected Paul's discussion in Romans 11:35-36 that leads us into our living sacrifice:

"who has given a gift to him, to receive a gift in return? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen."

Afterward, Marc led us in a discussion of Romans 12 where spiritual gifts are discussed. Marc shares about our need to recognize and engage our spiritual gifts, trusting that God has made us with purpose to build others up in the faith. In this way, we live out our living sacrifices in partnership with God's will for us. We pray that your week is filled with serving God and seeing his favour and kindness over you and those you love.
