b'Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - 1 Corinthians 12 (Psalms 139:14; 1 Corinthians 12:1-7, 15-18 & 22-23; Romans 12:4-8; 2 Timothy 1:6-7)\\n\\xa0\\nIt can be fascinating watching a football team pull off a win in the final seconds of the game. In order to pull off a big play, they have to work together. Every member of the team must know and fulfill their role. The quarterback needs the offensive line to guard and the wide receivers to run their routes and be in their spots ready to catch the ball.Just like a football team, God has created the body of Christ to fill different roles. None of us are the same and this is on purpose. We are equipped with a Spiritual Gift that God uses in our lives to make a difference.Do you know your role?\\n\\xa0\\n\\nBENCHWARMERS: Combating the lies that take us out of the game!\\nFinding your role!\\n\\xa0\\nLIE: "I can\'t really make a difference!"\\n\\xa0\\nSome things we all need to know concerning spiritual gifts:\\nI.
