This week's sermon reminds us that each of us has been uniquely empowered by the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians 12 emphasize that these gifts are not for personal glory, but for the common good of the body of Christ. We're challenged to embrace our individual callings without falling into the trap of comparison or competition. Just as the early church experienced on the day of Pentecost, we too are called to be vessels of God's power, allowing His presence to flow through us. This message encourages us to step out in faith, responding to even the smallest promptings of the Spirit. By doing so, we become active participants in God's work, bringing transformation to our communities and the world around us.
