When Jesus moves, we will learn how to go, we will learn how to trust, and we will learn how to respond.

It’s not that God has gifted pastors, church leaders, and missionaries as apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds and teachers so that YOU will be equipped and built up. Instead, it's that God has gifted each and every one of us with apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, shepherding and teaching giftings so that God can use us to equip one another and so that God can use us to help build up the body of Christ!

Evangelists are graced and anointed as bearers, sharers and declarers of the gospel. We need the unique spiritual genius of the evangelist in both the Church and the world.

Instead of showing off our gifts, or hoarding and hiding them, God gave them to us to build up the body of Christ. To use it and to be a gift.

Every one of us who believes in Jesus belongs TO Him and IN Him. So we belong to each other and in this way, we are one.

We are all prejudiced in some way, which is why today we are going to look at why prejudice forms in us, what prejudice does to us, and how we can lay it down.

God sees the whole picture, we can only see a part. In the midst of our losses, it is an act of faith to believe God is still at work and his ultimate aim is to bless us.

The bad news is that sin progresses, sin grows. When we leave it in the dark, we feed it and it grows. The Good News is that the Lord is good! Our response to God and all his GOODNESS, is beginning with repentance!

When we are honest with God, with ourselves, and with others, then God will turn our criticism into courage.
