Today we are reading 1 Corinthians 12. In this chapter we read about spiritual gifts.“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 ESV The purpose of spiritual gifts is to build up the body of Christ—the church. What are your spiritual gifts? How has God equipped you spiritually to serve Him? What He has given you is essential to our collective ministry. If you are not sure of your gifts we can help you discover what they might be. There is great joy in using the gifts you have been given. May you discover them and offer them to the ministry of Jesus. Pastor Tim
