    What is a "word" of wisdom? Is it just wisdom in general, or is it a supernatural impartation of guidance by the Holy Spirit? This message explains this supernatural operation of the Spirit and provides examples of its occurrence in Scripture and in the pastor's life.

    Intro We are in a series concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Last week we examined the description of the gifts found in the first eleven verses of 1 Cor. 12. We came to understand the gifts of the Spirit as “supernatural impartations by the Holy Spirit that come in a moment for a specific ...read more
