Enjoy this Sunday AM message from August 6th taught by Rick Lafferty.

If each of us looked at our daily "screen time", we'd find a good indication of what saturates us. Does the word of God get as much time? If not, you might want to re-evaluate if you're maturing in your walk.

Many of us may be knowledgeable in the Word of God; some may even be "know-it-alls", but is it your gift? Tune in to find out as well as how to use it rightly!

In the 12 hours since this was taught, we've already had multiple students say this hit them right where they're at. Surely they're not alone! What comes out of you when you're squeezed and put to the test? Do you count it all joy?

Today we look at not only the first gift in our series, but the first in the "revealing gifts" subcategory. Are you gifted with words of wisdom? What's the difference between knowledge and wisdom? How do you apply this to your life if you're gifted with it?

Before we dive into the Marks of a Maturing Disciple, we have to dig into the historical context of who actually wrote this book and why. This isn't your basic book overview. As we'll see by the end, the background of this book can have tremendous practical applications to your life right now.

Now that we know who we are, we need to know what God thinks about us according to his Word. We also need to understand that the moment of our salvation gifted us with a lot more than just eternal life and forgiveness of sins. We also do a brief doctrinal dive into certain spiritual gifts that are no longer in operation today.

We kick off our two-part introduction to Spiritual Gifts with a learning style survey. How well do you actually know yourself? If you'd like to partake with us, pause the Podcast at the 7:32 mark and then run over to our Wordpress to download the survey!

This passage almost wasn't covered, but it's the verse from which all the other "ONE THING's" flow out of. If we keep our eyes upon THIS principle, we will have no problem achieving the others. If someone's final words were telling you not to not be ignorant of ONE THING, you'd do well to perk up your listening.

As school is starting back up and students are following the Lord in believer's baptism, I can think of no better passage than Philippians 3:13-14 to set our focus upon. Study Sheet found here: https://fbcjsolidyouth.wordpress.com/2023/08/21/one-thing-i-do/
