  1. Soccer Cleats

    Soccer Cleats – a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "some supply the “cleats” and others supply “the goals.” As a result, God uses our combined talents to do mighty things."

    “For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith…” — Romans 12:4-6

    These verses explain how the Church is made of different parts (people); they fulfill unique functions, like a human body. We do not have the same roles, but collectively, God uses us to do incredible things. I recently witnessed a powerful example of this.

    Parable of the Talent – a word by Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Where do I spend my time? When it comes to money, what has my heart? How am I using my talents or abilities?"

    In the Parable of the Talent, a master gave three of his servants a set amount of money. He asked them to manage it (according to their abilities) while he was on a journey. When the master returned, he asked for an account of what they did with their talents. Each servant was judged accordingly.

    I’ve read this parable before and focused simply on the talent. I mainly related it to what we are to do with our God-given, natural abilities. Recently, I began to think about it more carefully.
