On any sports team, there are many different positions and roles. All athletes must use their talents and training to fulfill their unique role on the team. When everyone is giving 100%, the team succeeds.

Your role is important and is vital to the success of your team. The same goes for your role on God’s team. Here are some principles to know about your spiritual role:

You Have a Role on God's Team - You have a special role on God’s team. You were created with certain personality traits, gifts, and interests that complement and work in unity with others in the body of Christ. Your specific role is important and needed for the Church to succeed. When everyone is using their gifts and cooperating with each other, we share God’s loving, welcoming, and powerful Spirit with others who don’t yet know Christ. We will make an impact on those around us and see lives transformed for Jesus!

Serve Each Other - When you trust Jesus with your life, you receive certain spiritual gifts from the Holy Spirit. These gifts empower you to live out your position and role in your church to serve others. Every believer has at least one spiritual gift. We can help each other grow and become stronger in our faith through the gifts and talents that God has given us.

Love Each Other - The primary use for our gifts is to serve each other and build up the Church, but the heart behind the actions is just as important. We must love one another. You must love other believers first and serve them second. It is by our love for one another and how we treat each other that God’s Word spreads and His will is accomplished on Earth.

Identify what you have to offer, own it, and serve other believers with your whole heart!
