Where’s Your Work: Using Your Spiritual Gifts to Build the Church
Romans 12 makes it clear that the Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. In this message, Pastor David Rose calls the church to look beyond personal faith and ask a harder question: Where’s your work? Walking through Romans 12:3–8, he shows how God’s grace reshapes the way we see ourselves, binds believers together as one body, and calls every Christian to active participation in the life of the church.
Spiritual gifts are given for the good of others and the health of Christ’s body. Some are visible. Many are not. All of them matter. Pastor David challenges believers to move beyond attendance and toward faithful service, reminding the church that unity and growth take shape when each member uses what God has been given.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your presence in the church truly matters, watch or listen in.

The Gospel
If you have questions about what it means to be a Christian, we would love to talk with you about it.
Reach outThe Gospel begins with the reality that apart from Christ, we are dead in sin and unable to bring ourselves to life. That is why Paul calls Christ in you the hope of glory. Our hope rests in God’s action, not our progress. Jesus lived a sinless life, died for sinners, and rose again so that those who trust Him would be brought from death to life.
Through Christ, believers are joined to Him and to one another. Salvation places us within a people shaped by grace and called to faithfulness. The strength to serve does not come from ourselves. It comes from Christ at work in us. As Pastor David emphasized, grace humbles us, connects us, and sends us into service within the body.
The question that remains is simple: where’s your work? If Christ has given you life and placed you among His people, then your life carries purpose within His church. Not for attention. Not for status. For faithfulness. For love. For the glory of Christ.
