Pr. Nick preached about the benefits of discovering spiritual gifts in our new sermon series, Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts from 1 Corinthians 12:1-10

Verse 4 says these gifts are for service and activities that make up many different aspects of ministry and facets for growing together as the Body of Christ and reaching other with the gospel…  but all are united in One Spirit and purpose. 

What does Gifts mean?

…Displays of God’s grace/blessing - They are more than natural abilities you are born with like singing, they are spiritual and supernatural. They are gifts that you could not know if not from God. 

What are gifts for?

2. Gifts for the common good - It’s not for you that you have been given a gift… it’s for the common good… but it will bless you to live out your gifts and abilities.

Common good’ is a picture of the church functioning, displaying properly

3 Questions to ask yourself…

…Do my actions support the greater whole? 

…Do my opinions unite or divide? 

…Do my words build up or tear down?

Common good is about His relationship with us maturing/growing and it’s about God’s long term plan. 

Jesus made a way so that you could fit in and all who are in didn’t get in because of what they did instead by what He did! Your place in Him is given freely because He loves you!

We would love to pray with you today!
