1 Corinthians 12:24 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;
It's been said before but it bears repeating. God is so clever to share the varieties of gifts throughout God's people. As important as some think pastors are, the church couldn't be the church without the people who play the piano and organ and bells and guitars and drums. As important as the musicians are, it wouldn't really work without the people who make sure the air conditioning works and the fire alarms are in good working order. As important as the property folks are, somebody's got to pay the bills right?
And I can't do it all. No matter how much I sometimes think I can. And neither can you. Self-reliance is a myth. Whether it's in church or your school or your workplace or your home. You cannot do it all. You never did and you never will. God didn't give you all the gifts. That was never the plan. The gifts were spread out so we have to rely on each other. And so we do.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
