THE IRREVOCABLE TRUST
Opening scripture
Romans 11:29
Trust: a inheritance that is a Legal arrangement where assets are set aside to be managed by CHOSEN individuals for the benefit of the Family
THE GIFT IS IRREVOCABLE
THE CALLING IS FROM GOD
THE GLORY IS TO GOD
THE RESPONSE IS OURS
The Gift is the Trust, Faith is the Measure
Romans 12:1-8
God doesn’t give us someone else’s measure. He gave us the measure necessary for what He Entrusted
How do we use it?
1 Peter 4:10,11
RECEIVE IT
MINISTER IT
STEWARD IT
Stewardship of Our Gift Requires Maturity
1 Corinthians 1:4-9
The Gift is evidence of God’s Grace
Maturity is evidence of proper stewardship over that Grace
1 Corinthians 3:1-3
Maturity doesn’t happen by receiving more gifts
It happens by developing the ones you already have
One Body, Many Gifts
1 Corinthians 12:1-6
Diverse in Operations,
Same God
1Corinthians 12:12,13
One Body, One Spirit
Final Scripture
1 Corinthians 12:27-31
We should all earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but the greatest measure of our gifting isn’t how impressive it looks
The MEASURE is how much our gifts serve others in Love
