How God uses our distinctiveness

Acts 1.15-17,21-26

Peter preaches to a crowd of believers about who should replace Judas as one of the twelve. He recommends that it should be someone who has been with them from the beginning and who is a witness to the resurrection. Two names are proposed. After praying for the Lord’s guidance, lots are drawn and Matthias becomes the new apostle.

Today we consider the roles we fulfil in different areas of our lives. We are all different in temperament, gifts and abilities, yet we all have something to offer – to others and to God. How do we know if we are called to a particular role? How do we identify potential in others?
