Ephesians 4:1-16

Accepting your Assignment

(tm) You and I were put on earth to make a contribution. God did not
just create us to consume resources, food, air and take up space.

(tm) God designed you & I to make a difference in life. Contrary to what
the world says today about how to “get” the most out of life. God
created us to “add” to life on earth and not just to take.

(tm) This is one of God’s purposes for your life, & it is called your
“ministry” or your service. The Bible gives us the details.

You were Created to Serve God

(tm) Eph. 2:10 These “good deeds” are your service. When you serve
Christians in any way you are serving God & fulfilling one of his
purposes.

(tm) Jer. 1:5 “_Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you
were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the
nations._” You were placed on earth for a special assignment.

How God Shapes you for Ministry

(tm) Whenever God gives us an assignment, he always equips us with what
we need to accomplish it. This custom combination of capabilities is
called your SHAPE.
