Empowered to Serve

God has given every believer gifts, abilities, and opportunities for a reason.This sermon challenges the idea that church is a place to sit back and consume. Instead, Scripture paints a picture of a body where every person is empowered to serve and every light matters. When believers fail to use what God has given them, darkness grows. When everyone steps in together, the light multiplies.Through Scripture, story, and practical application, this message invites us to stop drifting, stop waiting, and step fully into the mission God has placed before us.Discussion Questions1) Where have you been tempted to treat church like something you attend rather than something you participate in?2) What gifts or abilities do you feel God has given you, even if they feel small or unfinished?3) What fears or excuses most often keep you from serving?4) How does serving others help your faith grow and mature?5) What is one specific step you could take this week to move from watching to participating?
