Why God Gives Christians Different Spiritual Gifts | Romans 12:3–8 / Different By Design

Why doesn't everybody in the Body of Christ contribute in the same way? Because God never intended us to. In Romans 12:3–8, Paul explains that although believers are part of one Body, we do not all have the same function. God has given different grace-gifts to different people because different kinds of ministry need to happen. Some teach. Some encourage. Some serve. Some give. Some lead. Some show mercy. Meaningful ministry doesn't have only one appearance. In Message 2 of our Made to Matter series, Pastor Curt McFarland unpacks three important truths: • WE'RE ONE, NOT THE SAME • WE'RE GIFTED DIFFERENTLY • DIFFERENT GIFTS DO DIFFERENT THINGS If you've ever wondered why other Christians don't think, contribute, or function exactly like you—or wondered whether your contribution has to look like somebody else's—Romans 12 gives us a better way to see the Body of Christ. God never intended everybody in the Body to do the same thing. He has equipped different people to contribute in different ways—and that's on purpose. We're different by design.
