Stewards of our Talents (2 of 4)
Series: Stewardship
Ron Cox
Romans 12: 3-8
Last week we talked about the Stewardship of our TIME...said that there are many misconceptions about stewardship...most of them being that stewardship is only about Money.
But Remember our Definition of Stewardship:

Romans 12 talks about 7 gifts, but I want to encourage you today to find out what your gifts are...and be a good steward of them.
If we are going to be good stewards of our gifts and talents….
We need to ...

V.) 4 - 6) For we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them:
Many Christians never understand how truly important we are to God. (John 3:16)
A) MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
Gen. 1:26 - let us make man in Our image
