Grace and Gifts: Discover Your Power to Serve with Joy

In this rich and empowering sermon, Pastor James teaches how God’s grace and spiritual gifts are designed to work together so that believers can serve with power and joy. Drawing from 1 Corinthians, Romans, Ephesians, and examples like Janiece’s testimony, he explains that grace is not only what saves us but also what sustains us through suffering, overcomes sin, and enables effective ministry. Whether you’re in a season of strength or struggle, this message calls you to identify your gifts, rely on God’s grace, and use both to serve others and glorify Christ.

Key Takeaways:
