TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

Romans 12:5–8 - [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. (ESV)

0:41.2	verses 5 through 8. So get out your Bibles. We're going to be looking at that in just a moment.

1:38.4	And today we want to understand how you have gifted us in order to help others. We ask it in Jesus' name. Amen.
1:49.0	Okay, friends, Romans 12, 5 through 8th, where we're reading. And here's what it says.
