“Gifts of Exhorter and Giver”

Romans 12: 4-8

 

Romans 12:4-8 (ESV)
4  For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function,
5  so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
6  Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;
7  if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching;
8  the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

 

EXHORTER: The Mouth of the Body of Christ

Hebrews 10:23-25 (ESV)
23  Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
24  And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
25  not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Romans 12:12 (ESV)
12  Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

 

GIVER: The Arms of the Body of Christ

Luke 6:38 (ESV)
38  give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

Romans 12:13 (ESV)
13  Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.

 

THEME: What you are gifted to do, you are called to do.
