Sermon Notes
Adventure of Trust
“Each of Us”
1 Peter 4:10
Each of us includes you
- by grace
- Justified and righteous in the sight of God
- Qualified at the time we put our trust in Jesus
Each of us possess God’s gift right now, today, in this moment
- The gift you have received, it’s purpose is not for you
- Serving others means you are “doing something primarily for the benefit of another person”
Each of us should
- exercise the gift given to you
- because Jesus is coming soon
-
Each of us must serve
- faithfully
- As a steward of God’s grace
-
You are qualified:
- to exercise your gift
- to emphasize others
- to maximize your faith
- In order to glorify God
-
Core CHRIST-like Characteristics: Heart of Worship, Relates with others center, Trustworthy Steward of God’s resources.

- How do you know when you are stewarding your spiritual gifts well?
- Looking at the mock time planning form, what seems to be out of balance?
Are there better ways this person could use his/her time? - Are you more at risk of becoming spiritually overweight (by living as a consumer), or spiritually faint (by getting burned out)?
