Everyone Contributes

As written in yesterday’s post, everyone contributed to the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. I remember a point made in a sermon by Pastor Steve at my church explaining that we should take what God is doing and do it with Him. Reach out and claim our identity. Tap into His resources by seeing faith, hope, and love in other believers and getting help from their talents and skills. For other points made in sermons, you can click on this link: FUMC Sermon Podcast.

Here’s a video to help inspire the need for everyone to contribute in order to achieve great purposes: We Will Stand – Larnelle Harris and Russ Taff.

All members of a group complement one another so that each talent is messed together to form an unique ability that inspires, uplifts, energizes, and helps to achieve great purposes.
