    If you are sealed by the Spirit then you are gifted by God to help the body grow in Christ. This is an introduction to a study on the gifts of the Spirit discussing their source, significance, and stewardship of the gifts.

    Intro: Ephesians 4:8 quotes Psalm 68:18 which says “You received gifts from men.” Paul is saying something that would have been understood by people in His day. You gave gifts to men. Paul is using this under the idea of a King who has conquered his enemy coming back into the ...read more

    Good morning, family. Today we are diving into a topic that is of great importance to our walk of faith - spiritual gifts.

    Encouraging others to seek Jesus and to learn to "swing" in his ways.

    INTRO I remember back, as though it was yesterday, when Emma and Grace were just little tikes. There was a great playground —just down the hill from our seminary apartment — where the girls would climb, slide and swing. Day-after-day they’d ask, “Mom, Dad, can we ...read more

    I have weighed recently the compassion fatigue that we all face. A pastor quietly lay the pistol to his head, his load had been so heavy, did anyone care? Maybe we miss it sometimes?

    GET UP AND ENCOURAGE SOMEONE… WHO COULD ENCOURAGE TODAY? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com TEXT: Jude 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that ...read more

    Presents what church members have been given to serve in the church.

    Introduction What do you have to offer Jesus? You, who believe and follow him; you who have joined his church, his body – just what do you have to give to make any real difference to that body? That is what we are considering today. We have been told to walk in a manner worthy of our ...read more

    This is probably one of the highest abused gifts in Chritianity. However, we need this gift moreso than ever before. Jesus Christ is still our healer!

    (A continuation from Gifts of Spirit Part 5) 1. The Gifts of Healings NOT FOR SHOW BUT FOR SERVICE!!! Dr. John R. W. Stott quoted: "Our motive must be concern for the glory of God, not the glory of the church or our own glory. Our message must be the gospel of God as given by Christ and his ...read more

    Gifted To Grow

    God has given the church what she needs. The diversities of talents and gifts are intentional. When everyone serves, the Body of Christ is built up and grows, until we become mature in Christ.

    We are the church. We are the Body of Christ. • By now, I believe you do know that. The church is not a building. It is not even the activities that make the church. It is the people. • You and I form the church. It is not an organization, although it is organized. It is an ...read more

    This sermon is the eighth in a series of ten on Motivational Spiritual Gifts which communicates the characteristics of the gift of Administration in order to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal this gift to those who have it.

    Well, with the gift of administration we come to the seventh motivational spiritual gift categorized in Romans 12:6-8. And in verse 8c the KJV reads, “he that ruleth, with diligence.” The NIV translates it, “if it is leadership, let him govern diligently.” The Greek word here is “proistemi” ...read more

    We are to imitate God and follow the example of the Wise Men from the East and give gifts for the right reasons.

    What does our society call the Friday after Thanksgiving?? We think about giving gifts at least one month ahead of when we plan to give the gifts on Christmas Day. Some think of Christmas gifts one year ahead; have you seen the newspaper for today? Do we really think about the people to give gifts ...read more

    We will explore what Paul teaches about spiritual gifts. I think a great deal of controversy could have been avoided on this topic if people would have simply studied this a little more closely.

    Church conflicts happen for pretty unusual reasons. In the 1890s there was a small Baptist church in Mayfield County, Kentucky. The church had just two deacons, and those two men seemed to be constantly arguing and bickering with each other. On a particular Sunday, one deacon put up a small wooden ...read more

    Jesus’ gift to us is an eternal gift that we get to keep for ourselves and pass on to others at the same time.

    This morning I want to ask you to think about your favorite Christmas gift ever. Maybe it was a little red wagon or a shiny new bicycle. Maybe it was an article of clothing or the latest video game. Now let me ask you a question. Where is that gift today? Chances are, we have no idea. Toys become ...read more

    Continuing to look at the Ministerial Gifts within the local church and their true purpose and whether or not these gifts are still vital today.
