He Wants You to Know Your Ministry Shape

The Bible’s claim is that God has given every believer a unique shape to equip them to minister to others.  The SHAPE you have is based on your spiritual gifts, your passions, your talents, your personality, and your life experiences.  He wants to use all of these in a way that can be a blessing to someone else.

1.      What does God want you to become?  1 Thes. 5:23

2.      What does the word sanctify mean? 

3.      Are you willing to let God use every part of you in ministering to others?

4.      What is God’s promise to you?  1 Peter 4:10,11

5.      Are you assured of the promise that you have at least one special gift from God?  Romans 12:6

We will discover your SHAPE for ministry.
