Just as God has a plan to engage every one of us in service to His Kingdom, God also has unique plans for each church to reach communities and share the Good News. The church in Corinth was too distracted by the differences in that body of believers to be effective in following God's lead, so Paul shared with them timeless truths of how God brings us together so that we can serve God together.

It is God's desire and God's plan to engage every one of us in sharing our unique gifts in service to His Kingdom. God knows what is deep inside each of us, and because He knows just how special we are, God has summoned us to be someone and do something that we otherwise wouldn’t if we didn’t belong to Him.

History shows us that churches can suffer from disagreements that grow so large that they fragment congregations. That was the case in the church at Corinth. Paul's instructions to that church called the members to replace their selfishness and pride with respect and consideration for each other to overcome these divisions.

Last Sunday, we celebrated how God has blessed us and committed ourselves to generous giving of our time and resources to God's work. Today, we ponder what comes next -- what does God want us to do as a community of faithful volunteers? There are two stories in Luke 15 that shape how we can show God's love as we commit ourselves to God's work.

We conclude our Journey of Grace series with Paul's explanation in 2 Corinthians of how generosity builds more generosity. Pastor Chris compared this cycle to a flywheel, started in motion by God's love for us; as 1 John 4:19 explains, "We love because He first loved us." When we receive God's generosity with awe and submission, our response is to pour out God's generosity to others, and as others see God's generosity in us, we all respond in awe and praise of a God whose blessings know no end!

As we continue in our Journey of Grace series, we hear today about putting our vision for sharing grace into action. Pastor Chris gives us these concepts to guide us as we take these steps forward: (1) Our actions to give of ourselves must be rooted in our commitment, not in our emotions. (2) God calls us to give according to our actual abilities, not according to what others are doing or what we wish we could do. (3) Practice our generosity with faith that God uses our gifts for His glory, in His goodness, to lift up all His children.

Today's scripture comes from 2 Corinthians 8 where Paul wrote about the generous giving by the church at Macedonia. When we think about life in the first century, we realize those gifts from the Macedonians took many months to reach the famine victims in Jerusalem, and the church at Macedonia likely never knew how their sacrificial giving helped others. In our day, we like to see results from what we do. Instead, God calls us to demonstrate grace in how we give of ourselves, showing faith that God's plans and timeframes for using what we give are best.

Paul's letters to the church at Corinth addressed many varied areas of dispute and division within that community of faith. In this week's passage, the dispute had to do with head coverings, but Paul cut through to the heart of the matter in describing a healthy relationship between a husband and a wife. Paul gives us timeless instructions on how our marriages are to reflect the nature of God, giving of ourselves to uplift each other.

Also in today's service, we have an interview with Tiffany Mankaheriharison, our missionary to Madagascar. She shares about her calling into missionary work and how God is working through that ministry.

In today's scripture passage, Paul continued to instruct the believers in Corinth not to be distracted in living out their faith, but to focus on what truly mattered. Where the Corinth believers argued about proper behavior, Paul patiently taught them to put aside what was less important and focus on the One Thing: living out God's love in everything we do.
