In the final message of the Made for More series, we encourage the church to move from sitting to serving, from consuming to contributing, and from comfort to calling—stepping into a life of Spirit-empowered obedience and everyday mission.

God has designed every believer on purpose and for a purpose, and He has already prepared assignments for us to walk in—right where we live, work, study, and serve. From classrooms to kitchens, offices to neighborhoods, every follower of Jesus is called to be a visible representative of heaven on earth.

Discussion Questions:
1. The sermon challenged the idea that preaching only happens on a stage. Where is your “pulpit” right now in everyday life?
2. In what ways have you unintentionally treated church more like a set of bleachers than a training facility? What would it look like to shift that mindset?
3. What spiritual gifts or passions has God placed in you that might need more intentional development or stewardship? If you haven’t taken the Spiritual Gifts Assessment, you can do so here: https://gifts.ediphai.com/
4. Refer back to the Servanthood vs Servility Chart. When you serve or use your gifts, what usually motivates you—love, obligation, recognition, fear, or something else? How can your motivation be realigned with servanthood?
5. What specific environments has God placed you in right now (work, school, family, community)? How might He be inviting you to represent Him more intentionally there?
6. What is one concrete step you can take this week to live more “sent”—either by serving, engaging someone intentionally, or stepping into a ministry opportunity?
7. Pray for one another

Following last week's introduction to Spiritual Gifts, we explore how our individual spiritual gifts are given within a community and for the benefit of a community. Every individual Christian has a unique design that includes their spiritual gifts, and God also designs entire Christian communities with the spiritual gifts given to individual Christians. Every church, especially C4 Church, needs Christians using every spiritual gift in order to fulfill the mission that God has called us to. Every gift is given by the same Spirit to serve the same Lord, and the same God is at work in all of us while we use our diverse gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-6)!

Discussion Questions:

1. Do you know your spiritual gifts? If "Yes," how have you been using them?

If "No," the best thing we can do following this message is to spend time discovering what they might be:

2. Pray - Spend 5-10 min sitting with the Lord. Ask Him how He has gifted you and/or where he has called you to serve. Ask him to lead and guide you on this journey of discovery.

3. Wise counsel: Who are spiritual friends or mentors that you could ask about possible gifts they see in you? When is your next opportunity to ask them that question?

4. Personal Reflection: Think about the activities you do that you feel God has called you to do, as a Christian. It could be serving at church, or it could in your work or personal life. Are there activities that regularly frustrate you? Are there activities that regularly bring you joy? Are there activities that you find surprisingly easy or natural?

5. "Get on the Field" --- What's an area of ministry or service that you feel passionate about? How might you be able to start volunteering or serving in that area?

6. Take a Spiritual Gifts Assessment. AFTER Doing #2-5, consider taking the Ediphai Spiritual Gifts Assessment at: https://gifts.ediphai.com/ . Set aside at least 20 minutes to complete the assessment.

7. Pray again, asking God to lead you on this journey of discovering and developing your spiritual gifts. Commit to God that you will use the gifts He gives you for His purposes.

In Built Different: Finding Your Place in the Body, we explore how God has uniquely designed each believer with purpose. Drawing from Ephesians 2 and Romans 12, this message reminds us that we are God’s workmanship and that every believer has been given spiritual gifts meant to build up the body of Christ.Rather than being spectators, we’re called to participate—using our gifts not for self-importance, but for the health and mission of the church. You are not accidental, extra, or optional. You belong, and your gifts are God’s grace in motion, meant to be used wherever He has placed you

DQs:
1. What part of the message (or illustration with the tools) stood out to you most, and why did it connect with you?
2. Romans 12 says we don’t just attend church—we belong to one another. How does that challenge or reshape the way you think about church and community?
3. Describe some natural abilities and learned skills that you possess.
4. Take the spiritual gifts assessment and share your results.
5. Pray for one another.
