📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Romans 12:3-8
3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function,5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

| 0:36.9 | Now we've been talking in Romans chapter 12 about what it means to be living with a transformed mind. |
| 0:45.0 | Part of it is that you begin to see yourself rightly, |
| 0:50.0 | you begin to see yourself with sober judgment, |
| 0:52.0 | understanding how God has designed you and who he's made |
| 0:55.8 | you to be in the world. |
| 0:57.8 | That's in Romans 12 verses 3 and 4. |
| 1:00.8 | In verses 5 and 6, he makes the comparison of all of us who claimed faith in Jesus |
| 1:07.2 | Christ being like the members of a human body and we all together make up this one body that functions according to the way God intends for it to function. |
| 1:17.0 | And he says, each of us has gifts that differ. |
| 1:21.0 | According to the grace God is given to us. |
| 1:25.0 | Isn't that interesting? |
| 1:26.0 | Each of us have gifts that differ. |
| 1:30.0 | Now I don't know if you're aware of it, and you're probably certainly not aware of it by this name, |
| 1:34.7 | but I notice something happening in the church now and then that I would call gift envy. |
