Sharing.

Within the church you'll always get people that feel like a bit of a spare part. They just don't seem to see themselves as any use.

This kind of thought I guess is partly because people set themselves a limit and can form a barrier.

The fact is that God sets no limits, and doesn't put up barriers. And how ever long we have been Christians for makes no difference to what we can do.

So as Christians weather old or new we have the access to the same strengths. This means that god has given us the power to over come all.

We all have an ability to play a part within gods church and to minister and to share gods word. These skills can be put into 3 basic category's... Teaching, Preaching and Sharing.

Teaching – Some people can read the bible and go through it and explain what it all means. They can quote references of the top of their head and answer questions and Explain what bible stuff means.

Preaching – Some people can Give out the message not by doing what teaching does and feeding your mind, but by hitting your heart. They have an ability to encourage and inspire.

Sharing – This is telling others what Jesus has done for you. It can be just as powerful as the other 2 (preaching and Teaching) and quite often far more powerful. (in the bible this is Testimony)

These different talents play an important role in many walks of life, not just the church. and as a christian I find I'm challenged by others to try and prove God exists. But you know what, I don't need to prove or teach people about God or preach at them every time they I see them.

God selected me as a disciple, god gave me a place in heaven, Jesus has given me the power equal to his, in fact I don't need to prove or teach, what I do have a obligation to do is share, share my experiences, share my thoughts and share my talents.

We may not feel that we have a talent we can use, we may feel like a spare part but I believe every christian has the gift of sharing.
