Faithful
Stewards Of God’s Grace
The end of all things
is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all,
love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer
hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever
gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in
its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the
very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God
provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him
be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Peter 4:7-11
Just as musicians
adjust with their instruments, we as believers also need to make adjustments
with our spiritual gifts if we want to harmonize with others to serve God. For
instance, those who have the gift of teaching must coordinate with those who
have the gift of organizing meetings and with those who make sure meeting rooms
are set up and cleaned. All of us have spiritual gifts, and we must work
together if God’s work is to get done.
Keeping
in tune with Christ keeps harmony in the church.
