Spiritual Gifts

Intro statements

NT doesn't list all gifts

NT gift lists are very different

No list claims to be exhaustive

You can use your gifts without knowing their names

NT seldom defines the gifts

Strengths in one area don't exclude responsibilities in others

It's hard to define a spiritual gift

Hard&unneces to dist. between gifts & natural/developed abilities

Conclusion Statements

Gifts can be developed; not static

Rom 12 implies people not using, etc

How in our church?????

How do you discern your gifts?

Just because you have a gift doesn't mean you have to be allowed to use it (spiritual condition?)
