We deploy our individual gifts for service by discovering and using our spiritual gifts, becoming generous with all our resources (finances, time, and talents), following the servant-leader example of Jesus, and in humility putting others' needs above our own. This service happens both inside and outside the programming of The Avenue Church.

A. There are Different Gifts
B. There are Various Ways to Serve
C. God Works in Different Ways
2. Every Part Has a Role to Play

Memory verse for this series:
Ephesians 4:16
He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.
