Supplement teaching for the eleventh lesson in the discipleship book, Foundations.

Your gender, design, and role are gifts from God. God created men and women differently and purposefully. The two distinct genders reflect His glory in a unique and complimentary way. By faith, we accept and serve in His intentional design for us.

Embrace God’s beauty and purpose for your design. God chose to reflect His image and glory through humankind. He made humans male and female, equals in value and worth, but uniquely different to showcase His image. God’s design for two genders is beautiful and purposeful.

Embrace the gospel ministry entrusted to us! May we go as God’s representatives. May we proclaim the message of reconciliation. And may we show God’s grace through the way we live and love.

God proves His glory through many evidences. God’s glory has been displayed in the past but is also evident in our everyday. Whether it is in the promises of Scripture or the moment-by-moment care of His own, God’s greatness and goodness are revealed to us.

Exalt God with His money. We faithfully steward God’s money when we use it for His purposes. God has generously given us much so that we can use His wealth to join in His purposes. When we use God’s money faithfully we point others to the Lord’s grace and care.

Trust God with His money. God, as Creator, owns all things. He never relinquishes ownership. He does, however, apportion His wealth as He determines best. We are the recipients of a purposeful portion from God. We are required to trust God and serve Him with our portion.

Rejoice in the rest God provides. God gives the gift of rest to His people. We need physical and spiritual rest. In its proper place, rest is to be welcomed and enjoyed. It is a time of refreshment after diligent work.

Hope in your King! We can learn from the first saints who welcomed Jesus. Zechariah and Elizabeth saw the fulfillment of promises. Simeon and Anna had their hope fulfilled. And the Wisemen worshiped a King.
