Spiritual Gifts

Have you discovered your God-given Spiritual Gifts?

Romans 12: 1-8

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy, and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.  do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing, and perfect will.

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you:  Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith god has given you.  Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.  We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.  If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.  If it is serving, let him serve;  if it is teaching, let him teach;  if it is encouraging, let him encourage;  if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously;  if it is leadership, let him govern diligently;  if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

 

The 16 gifts listed below are studied and discussed in the Community 101 class, offered on Sunday mornings. (More Info) Participants are given Spiritual Gift Inventories which help explain the gifts we are given in varying degrees.  Each participant has the opportunity to share their discovery as we examine just how our gifts can be used for God's glory.
