The Priorities of God's Stewards

Main Idea: Stewards are called to faithfully use their gifts as members of the body of Christ.

1. The church is not a casual association of individuals, but a single body united in Christ.

2. Every person's gifts are essential to the life of the body, so use them!

3. True life in the church involves intentional and continual effort.

Questions for Prayer, Meditation, Discussion, and Application:

- What tends to keep you from using what God has given you?

- Where do you tend to live as though you are an independent Christian rather than a member of Christ's body?

- Paul commands ALL believers to contribute to the needs of the saints and practice hospitality. What are some needs around us that we might overlook because we're waiting for someone else to notice them?
