Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2459491/fan_mail/new] The Jesus Effect – Jesus in Your Weekend Created. Gifted. Called. Episode 4: Character Before Platform Key Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 God created you for a purpose. God gifted you for service. God calls you to use those gifts for His Kingdom. But what matters most is the character behind those gifts. In this final episode of our Created. Gifted. Called. series, we explore Paul’s powerful words in 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 and discover that spiritual gifts, talents, and accomplishments mean little if they are not rooted in Christlike love. Our world often celebrates titles, platforms, influence, and achievement. Jesus focuses on something deeper—our hearts. He is not only interested in what we do, but in who we are becoming. Join me as we discover why character makes gifts effective, why love gives purpose to everything we do, and how God continues to shape us into the image of His Son. Key Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Remember: God created you for a purpose. God gifted you for service. God calls you to use those gifts. And God is shaping your character every step of the way.

Jesus: Godly Wisdom from Above (James Series - Episode 6)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2459491/fan_mail/new] Jesus: Wisdom from Above — James Series (Episode 6)  James 3:13–18 What kind of wisdom is shaping your life? In Episode 6 of our James series, we explore one of the most practical passages in the book of James as he contrasts two very different kinds of wisdom: • wisdom from the world • wisdom from God James reminds us that true wisdom is more than knowledge. It is revealed by the way we live. Worldly wisdom is often driven by selfish ambition, envy, pride, and self-promotion. It creates disorder, conflict, and division. But wisdom from above looks very different. It is: • pure • peace-loving • gentle • full of mercy • sincere • and full of good fruit In this episode, we discover that the wisdom we follow shapes the life we live. We’ll explore: • the difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom • how wisdom becomes visible through our actions • why Christ-like character is a mark of true wisdom • and how God’s wisdom produces peace, righteousness, and spiritual fruit Because wisdom isn’t merely something we know. Wisdom is something we live. And when we seek God’s wisdom instead of the world’s wisdom, our hearts become softer, our relationships become healthier, and our lives begin pointing others toward Jesus.

How do you discover the gifts God has given you? Many believers spend years waiting for a dramatic moment of revelation, when often God reveals our gifts through faithful service.
