Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

Discover the power of spiritual gifts in building a thriving church community. In this sermon, we dive deep into Romans 12:4-8 to uncover how every believer’s unique gifts—prophecy, ministry, teaching, exhortation, giving, leading, and mercy—work together to strengthen the body of Christ. The strength of the church doesn’t come from the stage, but from the seats, where every member plays a vital role.

Key Points:
1. The Body of Christ: Just as a body has many parts with different functions, the church thrives when every member uses their God-given gifts (Romans 12:4-5).

2. Spiritual Gifts in Action: Explore the seven gifts listed in Romans 12 and how they build up the church through love, service, and unity.

3. Biblical Examples: From the Good Samaritan to the early church, see how gifts like mercy, giving, and leadership reflect Christ’s love.

4. A Call to Action: A Barna study reveals only 29% of Christians volunteer in their church monthly. Imagine the impact if 100% of us stepped into our calling!

Learn how to identify and use your spiritual gifts to serve others. Be inspired by the analogy of a one-man band versus a synchronized orchestra, reflecting the beauty of the church working in harmony. Discover practical ways to step off the sidelines and into your God-given role. What if every believer used their gifts? What would our worship, our communities, and our homes look like? This message challenges you to find your place in the body of Christ and make a difference.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
