1 Corinthians 12:4-11The Message (MSG)4-11 God’s various gifts are handed out everywhere; but they all originate in God’s Spirit. God’s various ministries are carried out everywhere; but they all originate in God’s Spirit. God’s various expressions of power are in action everywhere; but God himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits. All kinds of things are handed out by the Spirit, and to all kinds of people!
The variety is wonderful:wise counsel , clear understanding,simple trust, healing the sick,miraculous acts, proclamation,distinguishing between spirits,tongues, interpretation of tongues.All these gifts have a common origin, but are handed out one by one by the one Spirit of God. He decides who gets what, and when.
The Local Church
Paragraphs 201 & 202
“The local church provides the most significant arena through which disciple-making occurs.”
“The church of Jesus Christ exists in and for the world.”
