We must no longer be children, tossed to

of doctrine, by people's trickery, by their
craftiness in deceitful scheming. But
Speaking the truth in love, we must grow

of Jesus. Amen.
We all have gifts; spiritual gifts that
God has blessed us with. Paul talks
about these gifts in the fourth chapter of
his letter to the Ephesians. God has
given us skills and talents, natural ten-
dencies and abilities that aid us in our
life journey, in our work and in our
leisure. Some of us are great organizers,
some handy carpenters; some of us are
well-spoken communicators, some are
fervent thinkers. What special gifts from
God have you discovered in your life?
God also gifts us with abilities and
talents that “equip us for the work of
ministry, for the building up of the body
of Christ.” This in important work as we
Christians strive to share the gospel with
others. Paul writes that God has gifted
so that the entire body of Christ, that is
all of God’s creation, may be built up
and unified to spiritual maturity and un-
derstanding, faith and knowledge of
Jesus Christ.
Our skills, our abilities — the gifts
God has given us for ministry help to
grow the body of Christ and the king-
dom of God. Therefore, we act as the
fertilizer, the catalyst of God’s love for
creation. We hear in John’s gospel that
God loves us so much that he sent his
only Son for us so that all who believe
in him will not perish but have eternal
life. In his great love for us, God has
gifted us with so many blessings; why
wouldn’t we want to faithfully respond
to his love? We have important ministry
to do so that our gifts made be shared
with all!
