One of the most influential ways I believe God wants to reveal himself and his heart is through others.

No one is perfect like him, of course, but we all carry unique aspects of our father's character.

God wants to use others in your life to show you more about himself

on a daily basis. If we'll open our hearts to those around us, the possibilities are unlimited

to what God can do. Welcome to the first 15 podcast.

Our scripture for today comes from 1 Peter 4 verse 10.

Scripture says,

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.

One of the chief ways God reveals his heart to us is revelation through fellow believers.

Hebrews 10, 24 through 25 says, and let us consider how to stir

up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together as is the habit of some,

but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the day drawing near. God has given us the ability to

encourage one another, to literally fill the hearts of fellow believers with courage to pursue

fullness of life in the kingdom. He's given us the ability to stir up one another to love and good

works, that we might fill one another with wholehearted

devotion to Jesus, both in word and deed. One of my favorite passages of Scripture is 2 Corinthians

4 verses 5 through 7. Paul writes, for what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as

your servants for Jesus' sake. For God who said, let light shine out of darkness, has shown in

our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay

to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

God has given us His glory.
