Managing Your Talents I Peter 4:7-11 Dr. Cynthia L. Hale September 27, 2011

We were created by design. Psalm

We were created with natural talents.

God has given all of us the ability to do certain things well. Romans 12:6 TEV

What you are is God’s gift to you; what you do with yourself is your gift to God. Danish Proverb

Your talents/gifts make you distinctive!

A man or woman’s gifts will make room for him/her and take him or her before great people. Proverbs 18:16 KJV

Do you see a man or woman skilled in his or her work? She will serve before Kings/Queens. He/she will not serve before obscure people. Proverbs 22:29

 What natural talents do you possess?  What are you currently doing with your natural talents?  Where are you using them?  Who is benefiting from your natural talents or gifts? In what way?

Are you using your natural talent to glorify God?

Natural talents are to be recognized, managed, and used for God’s glory. I Corinthians 10:31

We have spiritual gifts.

Everyone in the body of Christ is gifted.

Each one should use whatever gift he or she has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.

Every gift and gifted person is important- I Corinthians 12:14-26
