The Use of Spiritual Gifts

1 Corinthians 12

• The Nature of God and His People

• “Unity in Diversity”

• Spiritual Gifts - Identifiable graces that the Spirit has given to believers that result in fruitful ministry (common good) to God and His people.

Framework of Spiritual Gifts

The Holy Spirit gives us our GIFTS.

Jesus gives us our MINISTRY.

The Father gives us our DOMAIN.

God gives us our PERSONALITY.

LOVE- 1 Corinthians 13

Questions to Think About Why shouldn’t you compare your giftedness to

others?

What are the dangers in elevating one gift over another?

What keeps you from exploring your giftedness/areas of service?

Why is it “dumbing down” the genius of God to not use your gifts?

Making Sense of it All

• Where has God placed you?

• Where do you see spiritual fruit in your life?

• Where is the Gospel heard/seen through you?

• Where do you sense that God is being glorified through you?
