If you tell me you are non-gifted, Christian, you tell me one or two things.

One, you're not a Christian.

Or two, you're a Christian who just doesn't know that spiritual endowment yet.

Dr. Tony Evans says you can fulfill your calling until you figure out your gifts.

Your gift is to serve as the kingdom, which means it is to show up in the marketplace of the kingdom.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans.

And president of the urban alternative.

The Bible tells us that every believer is spiritually gifted,

but identifying those gifts and figuring out how to use them is another story.

Today, Dr. Evans explains how what makes you special can make you effective.

Let's join him as he begins.

If you are a Christian, you have been gifted, supernaturally endowed

with an ability that has as its goal the equipment necessary to fulfill the calling

for which God has called you or to put it even another way,

God never calls that which he does not equally equip for.

He doesn't call you to do something you can't do.

So if you can't do it,

is either because you're not in your calling or you don't know your gift.

But God always equips for calling.

He prepares you for the purpose that he wants to use you.

Ephesians chapter four will be our central passage.
