Recap: ‘I’m Invited’
Last week we looked at the sinful woman who knew that Jesus would forgive her despite her sin.
She didn’t know how he would do it, but she trusted that he would.
Jesus had been building a reputation on the things he did and said towards the outcast and downtrodden.
They, just like us with all our baggage, were/are invited to be part of God’s family.
REMINDER: Our overarching theme for this series:
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
‘I was made for the day and the day was made for me.’
SAY THIS when you look in the mirror.
We have a purpose, we are uniquely made and divinely designed to serve God in ways that only we can.
Today our focus shifts from the invitation to walk in these good works, to the ways in which we are equipped for those good works.
Today: ‘I’m Invaluable’
Intro/Illustration - LOST SHEEP…
Luke 15:3-7 “So he told them this parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’
Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”
If one of my children went missing I would not simply be satisfied that I had one child left.
Both children are unique - different personalities and both of GREAT value to me.
I would pursue them with all I had… God sees us the same way.
We are unique and invaluable...
Bible
1 Corinthians 12:12-31
These words are important, and something I often return to in scripture ahead of a Church meeting, as I think about the ways we have all uniquely been made and gifted.
We are image bearers of God.
Unique… We each have a story and a set of gifts/talents.
Some of these we have obtained through hard work and practice, which God redeems and uses, or we have been supernaturally gifted by God.
Sometimes just for a time/season.
You might have gifts laying dormant you don’t know about or haven’t used for some time.
You might be getting ready to lay down a gift for a time, in order to head in the new direction God is calling you.
Bold claim: If you are here today I believe God may well be encouraging you to use your gifts and skills to serve him in and through the ministry of this church.
