A Gifting God• The Spirit is generous and is
constantly gifting good things to His sons and daughters. (Jas 1:17-18)– Gifting is totally in harmony with
His deity– His indwelling presence would be
gift enough, but He insists on giving us more
– His gifts are always the best!

Gifts for Us1. a spiritual gift to an individual
is God’s enablement for personal spiritual service (1Cor 12:11)– a temporary sign gift to
substantiate or corroborate a message that has been given (1Cor 14:22)
– a permanent gift to function within the body as an active, healthy part (Eph 4:15)

“It is not clear whether the gifts are endowments from birth,
special enablements received at some later point, or a
combination of the two.”--Millard J Erickson

“Since none of the four lists includes all of the gifts found in the other lists, it is quite conceivable that collectively
they do not exhaust all possible gifts of the Spirit.” --Millard J Erickson

Gifts for Us2. a spiritual gift to the church is
a person uniquely equipped for the church’s edification and maturation (Eph 4:11-13)– given by the risen, ascended
Savior to validate and empower our ministry
– not to be used for personal, isolated satisfaction (1Cor 14:4-5, 12)

Gifts for Us• The Spirit-given gifts are not…
– specific ministries or places of service
– offices or positions – age group specific – simply natural talents
• The Spirit-given gifts are the tools necessary to serve Him and the Body of Christ.

• No spiritual gift is given universally (1Cor 12:28-30)
