THE FORGOTTEN
SIDE OF GREATNESS
     _{^{Romans 12:1     Matthew 20:26-28     John 13:1-17     Philippians 2:3-5
     1 Peter 4:10     Galatians 6:10}}

 Following Jesus means serving others.

 Serving others means serving somewhere!

FINDING OUR NICHE
FULFILLING OUR DESTINY

 THE HIGH PRICE OF IGNORANCE:

• It’s worse than use it or lose it!
        _{^{Ephesians 2:10     Matthew 25:14-30  &  James 2:14-26}}
• Finding & Fulfilling Our Niche, Roles & Responsibilities:
        _{^{1 Corinthians 12:1-27     Romans 12:1-11     Acts 13:36}}

 We’re all gifted & called to serve others.
    _{^{(1 Corinthians 12:7)}}

 God decides who does what. _{^{(1 Corinthians 12:11-18)}}

 The greater the glory – the less important the role!
    _{^{(1 Corinthians 12:19-27)}}
