“Chosen To Serve” 
There Is Only One You Series, February 11, 2018

Warm up
In your leisure time, do you prefer indoor or outdoor activities? Why?
When it comes to giving, what charity (other than your church) do you prefer? Why?
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11

Message Recap
Main idea: I am equal

What we know:
1. Everyone has a gift
2. No one has all the gifts
3. We did not earn our gift
4. All gifts come from the same Person
5. All gifts have the same purpose

What can we do?
1. Accept your gift
2. Follow the Spirit
3. Encourage others in their giftedness  

What would happen if our church believed "I am equal"?
1. We’d feel a lot better about ourselves
2. Service would go up
3. Encouragement would go up
4. People would be cared for
5. We’d be more relationally connected
