What if God Saved you to Start Something?

You weren’t saved to sit still—you were saved to build something.
In Ephesians 4:7–16, Paul reminds us that Christ gave each of us gifts to strengthen the Church. That means you have something the body needs. And when you hold it back, everyone loses.

Maybe you think your gift is too small to matter. Or maybe you’re still waiting for the “perfect” opportunity to step out. But here’s the truth: you’re not extra—you’re essential.

So here’s your starting point—a Quick Spiritual Gift Audit to help you recognize how God wired you to make a difference:

1. What energizes you spiritually?
   (Teaching, encouraging, organizing, creating, serving?)

2. Where do others affirm your impact?
   (What have people thanked you for? Where do you naturally lead or help?)

3. What brokenness moves your heart to act?
   (Kids without mentors? Hurting marriages? Disconnected believers?)

Your answers point to your purpose. The Holy Spirit didn’t just save you—He equipped you.

Don’t let your gift go unused another week.
Because when you show up with what God gave you, the Church gets stronger, and the world sees Jesus more clearly.

Let’s stop sitting. Let’s start building—together.
