The Bible says we are created with a purpose, we are God's masterpiece, his workmanship (Ephesians 2:10). Furthermore, we are given gifts by the Spirit: gifts to bless, to help, to strengthen, to grow into, to serve, and to glorify God This week in keeping with out Identity theme we are learning about those unique God-given gifts we each possess, and we can act on them.
There
are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of
them all.
There are different
kinds
of service, but we serve the same Lord. God
works in different ways, but it is the same God who
does
the work in all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us
so we can help each other.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7 – NLT
Over the next couple of weeks...
- Review the Spiritual Gifts
Descriptions, specifically paying attention to your top two gifts. Look up
the Biblical references listed at the bottom of each Spiritual Gift.
Consider putting scripture on a note card, journal, or some place that you
will see it to remind you of your God-given gifts.
- Over the course of a week,
or even a few days, dedicate time to contemplate your Spiritual gifts, hot
buttons, and nudges you may have experienced. Jot all these down in one
place and take time to pray over and consider where the Holy Spirit might
be prompting you to act.
