For a good part of the last half of the twentieth century, spiritual gifts were a topic of intense interest in churches. Now it seems as if that interest has faded. Thom and Sam examine why the emphasis faded and why it's important for churches to "rediscover" spiritual gifts.

The short answer is "no."

It is vitally important to understand the role of spiritual gifts in our churches today.

The challenge of the sign gifts versus functional gifts

The challenge of the number of gifts

The challenge of definitions of spiritual gifts

Is there a better way?

Nothing beats digging into the Bible for yourself. After all, there’s life in the words of Scripture. But if your Bible study habits have been stale or maybe nonexistent, where do you even begin?

Introducing Logos 10: the new release from the leaders in digital Bible study. Logos takes you beyond Bible reading into deep studying of Scripture.

Want to do a Bible word study? Prep a sermon? Understand a difficult passage? Start (and actually finish) a Bible reading plan? Do all that and more with the study tools and theological library in Logos 10. 

With it, you can uncover biblical insights whether you have five minutes or five hours. And the new Logos is lightning fast on desktop, web, and mobile. It has a sleek, modern look that helps you focus on what matters—Scripture.

With Logos 10 you can centralize and catalogue all your former Microsoft Word sermons

Visit Logos.com/churchanswers to find the best Logos package for you.

 

You can help Tyndale House Publishers and ShareWord Global give 50,000 bibles to high-school graduates in Nicaragua.

Students in Nicaragua have grown up in a country full of drugs, violence, and poverty. Few have held a bible. Fewer have read one.

Graduating students now step into an uncertain future in need of guidance from God’s Word.

Each dollar you give will help local churches put bibles in their hands and put the hope of Christ in their hearts.

Your gift is an investment in the next generation of school and community leaders in Nicaragua.  

Just $6 sends a bible to Nicaragua and changes a life. How many lives will you change today?
