In conclusion• Christ does not need our strong abilities,
but our submission in total dependence to Him.
• He does not need our wisdom but our eyes focused on His provision for the moment, not our bright minds but our faith.
• He does not want us to be a lone ranger, but a dependent member of His Body relying on those less visible or prominent.

always wanting to be in charge and up front.
• Our objectives must be eternal and not temporal.
• Our goals must be of the unseen and not only the things that we can count and control.

In conclusion• We must be willing to be weak and
thought foolish while giving off the fragrance of the living Christ.
• Our lives and actions must only be explained by Him, and we must operate from influence and not position or power

Learning, application and commitment: James 1: 22-25
• “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.
• Do what it says. • Anyone who listens to the word but does not do
what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
• But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does.” (NIV)
