Naturally Gifted (4 of 7)
Improving Your Image – A Whole You for a Holy God
Stan Coffey
Ephesians 2:10
We have been talking about gifts and abilities and today we want to continue to talk about "Improving Your Image, A Whole You For A Holy God." And today as we have talked about what makes up your image, you are made in the image of God and recreated in the image of Christ when you were saved. We are talking about today the natural abilities that God has given to you. We have emphasized the uniqueness that you have that nobody is like you, that you are an original. And that God made you for a purpose and God designed you for a purpose and you will have joy and happiness and fulfillment when you fill that purpose. In fact, we are going to looking at two passages of Scripture that speaks about this.

Then in I Corinthians 12:4 it talks about the fact that it doesn't matter what your abilities are, that they are important and you are important because those are God given abilities. Paul says there are different kinds of Spiritual gifts but the same Spirit gives them. There are different ways of serving but th ...
