The How of ReGifting -- August 30, 2026

Aug 30, 2026    Rev. Aryn Williams-Ruebel

What does it look like to truly give away what God has placed inside of us? Romans 12 offers a striking picture of a community where every person brings something irreplaceable to the table. This message digs into that vision, reminding us that God has not gifted us for our own benefit but for the building up of something far greater than ourselves. The passage from Romans 12 draws a direct line between the gifts we carry and the health of the whole body, making clear that when one part holds back, the entire community feels it. We explore what it means to use our gifts not out of obligation but out of genuine enthusiasm, and why that enthusiasm is more contagious than we might realize. When we walk into a room fired up about what God is doing, something shifts in the people around us. The energy we bring either lifts the room or drains it, and that truth carries real weight for how we show up in community.
