Back to Eph 4:1
Read: If we could read Greek, (a manner worthy of) Is not in the Greek. Nothing wrong with it, but the scripture actually says,
1 Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,
Eph 4:1
Read: I am not trying to earn a calling. I’m not really trying to work my way up to a calling. I have a calling, it is time to walk in it. Tease it out a little farther. Calling and called. Replace with the meaning of the Greek words.

Read:
To be summoned (state) v. - to be or become subject to an authoritative demand for one’s presence or participation.
10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Eph 2:10
I have an urgent invitation, to walk the walk he laid out for me, but I am also summoned. so I better be there. Read
12 So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.
Heaven is putting a demand on our lives.
Romans 14:12
Heaven is putting a demand on our lives. Read Hebrews.
One day, you and I will stand before God and give an account (Logos) for what we did with the plan He had for us. ( Explain )
You and I are to Show Up.
Moses
Moses, background, (Chapter 2 vers 1, Born into danger. Chapter 2 vers 6 Adopted into Privilege. Heaven had a plan from the beginning. I’m sure every day, Moses’ real mother told him of the plan God had for his life. Chapter 2: 12, Self Ambition. Leads to Murder. Chaptr 2: 15 Moses has to run away from His Past. Chapter 2:21 He marries into a pagan family.
Read. At 80, Moses is working in the desert for his pagan father-in-law. He seems to be a long way from the plan God had for His life.
Verse 4. What it is not. Yes. Finally. I’m getting out of this thankless, embarrassing, low paying Job. It’s time for Moses to shine.
Taking Attendance. The World Changing Ministry of Moses, was launched my a simple Here.
Most highlighted, underlined verse in the Bible. Here Lord. Anything You want, I am available for. Prove: Trial and Error.
Teaching: One of two. Hundreds. It did not matter. ( Scott & I) I love to teach. Early New Life. From teaching 3 times a week, to 2 times the first year. 2 times the second year. People would be teaching and I would be sitting there thinking of every direction I would take the lesson if I had a chance. They did not need a teacher. Karen and I volunteered for anything the needed. They needed Nursery Workers. So we tried nursery working (Jason) We became Greeters. Standing at the back of the church. “Thank you for coming, thank you for coming.” Prepare them for what is about to happen. (explain Pastor Kelley and word of Knowledge) ( “I became a hugger.) We were usher’s setting up chairs.(explain) Which led to dragging the cord. (Concert Night) Praying, “revealing, followed by Word of Knowledge. Developed by being available.
From the Foundation of the World, I was called to be a teacher. Not a nursery worker, not a greeter, not a bathroom cleaner, and not an user. But being willing to say here, present, when a need arose, led to 2 years down the road. ( Explain)
There are at least three phases of ministry in each person’s life.
Most folks live and die, and never enter into the first phase of their calling.
BMW: Old. 20 years older than my Boss. Most of our team are in their early to mid 20’s. They are on their first or second job. I have been in the ministry longer than any of them have been born. My grey hair gives me away. I was an old man. I loved the people. I enjoy working with the cars. I enjoy getting to do what I do. It just wasn’t full time ministry as I know it. Sunday afternoon. Dread. One day, the Lord said to me. You can either endure it, or you can embrace it. I had an aha moment. This is a phase of my life, that I will one day stand before God and give an account for. I saw a ministry field I had not really valued much before. I have the opportunity to Minister, Pastor and Teach to folks who may never set foot in our doors. My job is not to get sinners to obey my bible. My Bible was written for me. I sinner who stops a particular sin, is still going to hell. People go to hell not for a particular sin. People go to hell for rejecting Jesus as saviour. I get to preach Jesus using only my life.
THE APOSTLE ANDREW Tells Peter his brother, we have found the Messiah and takes Peter to him. fish and loaves, Take them to Jesus. Greeks come to Philip wanting to see Jesus. Philip goes to Andrew. Andrew asks Jesus. Really the only thing you see Andrew doing is taking people to Jesus. For that, he sits on a throne in Heaven.
Pastor Allen, that’s fine for you and Moses and the Apostle Andrew, Pastor Tami and Pastor Rob. You are all big shots in the Kingdom. I’m just a little shot. I’m not called to full time ministry.
Read: Then Jump to verse 14
Read: What makes verse 14 possible? Verse 2
Questions: What if the slave girl was bitter? What if she was intimidated? Maybe even a little backward.
We Don’t Even Know Her Name!
Yet, the Great Naaman goes back home completely made whole. Every where he walks, he is a witness of God’s love. It’s all traced back to a young girl without a name, whose title was slave.
We Don’t Know Her Name!
Grace is the target of my Faith.
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
Read vs 3 and demonstrate. I live by faith, so I consume my faith on my needs.
Add Verse 4
1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.
5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty,
24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
