You were never meant to attend church and simply be a spectator. God has given each of us gifts, talents and abilities so that we can all work together to make a difference in the church, our community and our world. When Paul taught about the church, the body of Christ, he stressed that each person plays a vital part in accomplishing the mission of strengthening the body and spreading the gospel message. Every person has been given a spiritual gift and a place to use it for the love of others. How are you making a difference?
