Send us a textThe mystery of spiritual gifts often leaves us wondering what they are, how they work, and whether we've been given any. This eye-opening exploration cuts through confusion to reveal that spiritual gifts fundamentally flow from one source: love.Through a powerful story of African converts in the early 1900s who thanked their persecutors for the privilege of sharing in Christ's sufferings, we see that being filled with the Spirit isn't about supernatural abilities but supernatural character. When a former cannibal responds to brutal beatings with gratitude and forgiveness, we glimpse what true Spirit-filled living looks like—and how it transforms communities.The teaching presents a comprehensive overview of spiritual gifts, categorizing them into miraculous gifts (tongues, healing), enabling gifts (wisdom, discernment), and team gifts (teaching, serving, administration). But more important than identifying your gift is understanding why God gives it. Every gift serves the same purpose: building up the body of Christ through love.Using Paul's powerful body metaphor from 1 Corinthians 12, we discover how each member—whether seemingly significant or insignificant—plays an essential role. No gift is superior, and each person is designed with divine intention. The problem isn't usually that we lack gifts but that we operate from wrong motives or fail to surrender fully to Christ.Most powerfully, we learn that discovering your spiritual gift doesn't come through striving but through surrender. "You'll discover your gift as you surrender all to Jesus." When we believe we died with Christ and rose with Him, ask Him to live through us, and step forward to love others as we're designed, His power flows naturally.Ready to discover how God has uniquely gifted you? Take our spiritual gifts assessment and begin your journey toward serving others with the love of Christ flowing through you.Support the show
