Growth is Essential Christians are called to lead a life of discipleship, striving for continuous personal and spiritual growth. So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. We strive for integrity and authenticity in matters of our personal and our church life. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Everyone has a gift or gifts and is called to be engaged in some form of ministry.
Team ministry is the most effective ministry.
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
