We’re praying this conversation will serve as a catalyst to dig into the Word and to pursue further dialogue with women in your own local churches. Ultimately, our hope is that you’ll walk away encouraged to joyfully celebrate the importance God has placed on women’s roles in the body. “The Bible instructs women to put their faith in Jesus Christ and become part of the Church. That is the main role of women in the Church: belonging to Jesus and belonging to one another as family in the Church.” ep. 90 | Women’s Roles in the Church with @mary.willson
“Jump in and serve. Don’t wait on the sidelines to figure out your gift before you jump in and serve. Go ahead and get out there. The overwhelming exhortation in the Scriptures is to employ our gifts and use them.” ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ep. 89 | Spiritual Gifts and The Church | @matt_lantz
“If you want to grow in a gift, find someone who has that gift and watch them. Learn from their example.”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ep. 89 | Spiritual Gifts and The Church | @matt_lantz
“Spiritual gifts are not obtained. Spiritual gifts are not skills or abilities that you can hone. You can grow in your wielding of the gift you have by first growing in your yielding of your life to the Spirit of God. There has to be submission to the Spirit to stay in step with him.”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ “How will people point out a gift in you unless you’re serving in the church in the first place?”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ep. 89 | Spiritual Gifts and The Church | @matt_lantz
“A spiritual gift is a specific manifestation of the Spirit’s work in and through us as believers of Jesus. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ It tends to have a coordinating effect on all of us as individuals as the Body of Christ so we can do the work that God has called us to do as one body.” ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ep. 89 | Spiritual Gifts and The Church | @matt_lantz
It’s easy to assume that spiritual gifts are our own and to claim ownership of them for ourselves. However, they are not for our own boasting but rather the edification of others. @matt_lantz reminds us of this in this week’s episode: ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ “When people wield their gifts they experience satisfaction, other people are edified, and God gets glory. When we are using our gifts the way God designed for us to, it is a blessing. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ That’s why they are called gifts. They aren’t gifts because they belong to us. They are gifts because we give them away to other people. When we do that it brings joy, happiness, healing, care, and life.” ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ep. 89 | Spiritual Gifts and The Church | @matt_lantz⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
