Today at my church I taught on Spiritual Gifts found in Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4 & 1 Peter 4. I then took about ten of the ministry gifts and tested to see if all of the gifts were represented in our little (for now) congregation.
I AM STOKED! Every gift was very well represented. Just like Paul told the church in Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:7)….”You have all of the gifts that you need.”
We at Moscow CLC have all of the gifts that we need! It’s Go Time! Discover and allow God to leverage your spiritual gifts to further His kingdom.
Below is a list of ten. What are you gifted to do?
The Gift of Serving is the ability to see jobs that need to be done and to do them. When you see a need, do you help without being asked? If this describes you, serving may be your gift. Read this: Ephesians 6:7
The Gift of Encouraging is the ability to support people with words of comfort and counsel that help to strengthen and give courage to others to need to do. Read this: Acts 11:22-23
The Gift of Giving is using your time and talents to give to others. You don’t need a ton of money to have the gift of giving. When you see a person that need something like food or clothes, you really want to do something to help them. Read this: Romans 12:8
The Gift of Teaching is the ability to understand and clearly explain God’s truths and to show people how to apply them to their lives. Do you enjoy learning about God and then sharing what you learned with others? Read this: Romans 12:7
The Gift of Mercy is noticing when others are hurting and comforting them. Read this: James 3:17
The Gift of Shepherding is the ability to guide and care for people in their walk with God. Shepherds will sacrifice and give themselves to other people in such a way that they are built-up in their faith. Read this: 1 Peter 5:2-4
The Gift of Hospitality is the natural ability to be friendly and generous to guests. Those with this gift have an amazing awareness of visitors and have a desire to make all people feel welcome. Those with this gift are a key to helping new people become a part of the group. Read this: Hebrews 13:1-2
The Gift of Leading is helping others to do what they need to do. People with this gift are sometimes the only one to see what needs to be done. Do people naturally follow you? You might have the gift of leading. Read this: Romans 12:8
The Gift of Evangelism is a deep desire to help people accept Christ and ability to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ so that people receive Jesus as their savior. Read this: Acts 8:35
The Gift of Faith is the ability to have an extremely confident belief that God will always do what is very best. A person with the gift of faith trusts God for everything. Read this: Hebrews 11:1
What are you gifted to do? If one or more of the above gifts applies to you, look up the recommended verses and read them in context (the entire group of surrounding verses.)
I highly recommend you read Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4 & 1 Peter 4. as well. It’s a fascinating study… there are far more than the ones listed here!
