Chris Meckley continued our series on the Holy Spirit, focusing on the category of Serving gifts.
Questions to consider:
- What gifts do you believe God has gifted to you? If unsure, pray that God would reveal them to you.
- Pray about how God might put your unique giftings to work in the Church and in the world around you?
- Are there any new areas of giftedness that you feel God is asking you to step into? Are there any gifts that your would like to receive? Pray for those gifts.
Today we looked at the gifts of the Holy Spirit, what they are and how they operate.
This week's questions for consideration are:
- Do you believe that God has given you gifts that are spiritual, powerful, and personal – for your benefit, others’ good, and His glory?
- If so, are you seeking out those gifts – asking Him and others what they are, how they can be used – offering their use? If not, why not?
- What would your best next step be to discover and utilize your gifts in the church and world?
