How do I know which gifts are mine? | Sermon Audio
Pr. Nick preached about how you can know what your spiritual gifts are as we continued in our new sermon series, Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts.
If God really imparts supernatural/God-given gifts in each of His children, how do I really know what gifts are available to me and how do I get them? Does the Bible give me a list of things to chose from?
We don’t know for sure if we have an exhaustive list of gifts but we are given many examples of spiritual gifts in various books of the Bible such as I Corinthians 12:8-11.
If we neglect to truly understand spiritual gifting, we are more likely to gage our roles/abilities within the Body of Christ based upon assumptions, feelings, preferences, and personalities.
And what happens when we do this…
…You get… people sitting on the sidelines not operating in the gifts; only seeing themselves as spectators rather than players on the field.
…You get people not doing what they're gifted to do, but rather what they're told to do or what they feel like doing, or what they’re guilted into doing. And that’s how we burn out.
…You get people doing what’s popular or what everyone around them is doing and this results in too many people doing the same things or not enough people doing the things that are less popular to do.
Jesus never intended for His church to operate on their own efforts, only His performance and His work of the Cross and His victory in the resurrection can provide the power for you to live out the will and work of God within His kingdom.
Have you ever asked God to reveal your spiritual gifts? Discovering your gifts are about growing in your relationship with Jesus and His body — it’s not about you finding yourself or discovering your personality. It’s about acknowledging what Jesus has already done and done with in you and how you fit just right in this fellowship we call the church.
We would love to pray with you today!
