Strength is for Service, not Status

Strength is for Service, not Status

Pastor Neli dissects Romans 15 to outline the plan God has for our strengths. The strengths are the gifts we have to serve other people not to prop us up on a platform. God wants to utilize our gifts, but we must step out and serve. God wants us to have the strength to tear the roof off for others, to celebrate other’s success, and to make others welcome.

May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
– Romans 15:5-7 (ESV)
