Life is complicated, unpredictable and always changing. What always worked yesterday, doesn’t always work tomorrow. What you thought you had figured out, doesn’t always work out. Or just when you thought you had all the answers dialed in, you suddenly realised in a moment of failure, you don’t have a clue. No matter who you are or where you live, one thing remains the same, life happens. And when it does it rarely sends an email letting you know. Work, money, relationships, parenting, marriage, adversity, career path, future plans. Your life and your legacy are directly connected to the decisions you make in response to life’s challenges and opportunities. Which is why, more than anything, you need wisdom. Wisdom you don’t always have, but thankfully because of God’s word and His Holy Spirit, wisdom you can get.

God has given us spiritual gifts for many purposes. Ultimately, all of these gifts have been provided to equip us to glorify God as we serve one another in the Body of Christ.

We will explore how to use our gifts and talents to serve each other, both in our church and out in the communities where we live. In this session we will introduce you to a variety of our ministry leaders and serving opportunities here at New Life.
