IF Gifts: Part 3 - Got Skillz

Did you identify some skills?  Did you spend some time reflecting over how God developed them in your life?  Would love to hear about them in the comments!

Now - how to use them...

Bezalel and Oholiab were asked to use their skills for 3 reasons.  Let's examine those and see what that has to say about how we use ours.

What were they building?  A tabernacle.  Exodus 25:8 says:
"Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them."

IF: Gifts Part 2

Last time I wrote that God cares more about his gifts than yours.  True dat.  At IF:Gathering we were encouraged to bravely use our gifts to serve God and those around us.  So, what if you DO have a "gift"?  (Gift in quotes for lots of reasons.  Briefly, so much work goes into honing a "gift" that it's often a building, not a blessing.  For example - I'm a great musician.  No, really!  But what started as a propensity to enjoy music over other forms of entertainment or expression required years of study to learn/hone/articulate.)

So, what if you DO have a gift/talent/passion that you sense God asking you to use?
