Charlotte Gambill’s Message: Understanding Our Worth
[02:02] - [43:03]
Charlotte Gambill begins her message by reflecting on her personal journey to understanding the concept of “giving”:
“I didn't really understand what 'It's giving' meant until my 22-year-old daughter... I needed to understand the true meaning of worth.”
— Charlotte Gambill [05:15]
She connects the theme of Palm Sunday to the idea of worth, explaining that Jesus’s sacrifice signifies that “He thinks that you’re worth it”:
“Do you realize that he thinks that you're worth it? He thinks that you're so worth it that he sent his only son...”
— Charlotte Gambill [07:45]
Redefining Worth
Charlotte challenges the congregation to shift their understanding of worth from worldly standards to divine affirmation:
“The Bible is the opposite of the way that the world defines worth. We have to go back and understand our true worth.”
— Charlotte Gambill [10:30]
She uses the analogy of the Antiques Roadshow to illustrate how recognizing the true value of something changes its place and significance in our lives:
“It is in the cave that God awakens your kingdom conscience. Because in the cave, in 1 Samuel 24, David's enemy Saul actually comes into that cave... God will test your kingdom conscience.”
— Charlotte Gambill [25:00]
Biblical Examples of Worth
Charlotte draws parallels between biblical figures and the congregation, emphasizing that every member has a unique and valuable role:
“Can I tell you that Moses also had Bezalel and Oholiab... If they didn't come alongside Moses, the kingdom couldn't have been established.”
— Charlotte Gambill [15:20]
She highlights lesser-known biblical characters like Abshai, who played crucial roles alongside prominent leaders, reinforcing that everyone’s contributions are essential:
“I’m here to awaken in this room today the Priscilla and the Aquilas... you are a kingdom builder. You’re an enemy destroyer.”
— Charlotte Gambill [22:10]
The Power of Willingness
A significant portion of the message is dedicated to the concept of willingness and its impact on advancing God’s Kingdom:
“Willingness is a game changer. It advances the kingdom. It gets the job done.”
— Charlotte Gambill [30:45]
She urges listeners to embrace their willingness to serve, drawing from the story of Abshai’s unwavering support for David:
“Abshai shouts out, ‘Hey, I’ll go. I got you. I’m a ride or die.’”
— Charlotte Gambill [35:20]
Sacrificial Giving
Charlotte emphasizes that true giving involves sacrifice and recognizing the sacredness of contributions:
“When you bring your sacrifice to the house of God, to the altar of God, I need you to know God doesn’t just see your paycheck...”
— Charlotte Gambill [38:50]
She compares ordinary giving to sacred offerings, highlighting that God views each act of generosity as holy and transformative:
“This water is holy. God, this sacrifice is not to be consumed on something that doesn’t make a difference, but it’s to be used for something that will eternally change things forever.”
— Charlotte Gambill [40:15]
Call to Action: Awakening the Abshai Within
Towards the end of her message, Charlotte Gambill issues a powerful call to action, encouraging listeners to awaken their inner Abshai—a metaphor for their potential as Kingdom warriors:
“I need you to have an awakening of the worth of your word. I pray that God is making you an inheritor of His riches. You are called to be your son and your daughter, a world changer, an Abshai in the kingdom.”
— Charlotte Gambill [42:00]
She concludes by urging the congregation to recognize their worth, sacrifice, and willingness as essential elements in building a global church that transcends barriers and reaches souls worldwide.

He shares an example from the previous week’s service, where the congregation’s collective effort symbolized the worthiness of their actions:
“We get there and find out there is no water. And so I watched hundreds of us gather water just to mop the floor yesterday. Bringing the water in. Why? Because it's worth it.”
— Speaker A [44:10]
Speaker A concludes by encouraging listeners to seek guidance from the Holy Spirit on how to apply the message of worth and giving in their lives:
