Ephesians 2:10 (ESV)

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

God has uniquely designed each of us for a purpose that brings glory to Him. Our circles of community are a perfect place to discover and affirm our God-given gifts and talents. Together, we encourage and challenge one another to live out our calling in Christ. Sometimes, our circle plays an integral role in calling out and elevating a gift or calling that we didn’t even recognize or didn’t fully appreciate.

None of us know what we don’t know. And we can’t see what we can’t see. That’s why there is such power in a circle, that brings insight and awareness to things we don’t fully appreciate about ourselves. Circles shape us for a God-glorifying purpose.

How have your friends encouraged you to live out your faith and serve others?

How have they helped you recognize and develop your spiritual gifts?

What have you encouraged in someone else?

Reflect on the privilege of being part of God’s plan to impact the world—and your friends—for His kingdom.

As we embrace our identity as God’s masterpiece, let us continue to support and uplift one another in our journeys of faith. Through our circles of community, God shapes us into vessels that reflect His love and bring honor to His name.
