MOBILIZED by Spirit

Clair's message challenges us to move from being spectators in our spiritual lives to becoming active participants mobilized by the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Ephesians 4:11-13, we discover that Jesus didn't leave us with a brand, building, or business strategy—He left us with something far more powerful: a people filled with His Spirit. The tobogganing illustration reminds us that the price has already been paid in full; we don't need to stand on the sidelines with a spectator badge when Christ has already given us full access to participate in His mission. The passage reveals that apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers aren't meant to perform ministry on our behalf, but to equip us for the work we're already called to do. These grace gifts aren't earned positions or power roles—they're expressions of Christ's love, given to release the ministry already present within each of us. We're reminded that our everyday jobs, neighborhoods, and relationships aren't distractions from ministry; they are the very locations where our ministry happens. The question isn't whether we're called to ministry—we are. The real question is: where have we been holding back when Jesus is inviting us to move forward?
