Sunday, June 18, 2023 BIG IDEA: Spiritual Gifts – From Where & For What? 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 Giftedness Is Not Key Evidence 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So… in your body” “There can be gifts without graces” John Owen “The manifestation of the Spirit in charismatic performance is not the same thing as the fruit of the Spirit in Christ-like character” J.I. Packer Gives Spiritual Gifts (vs.4-6) Trinitarian Formula: Different gifts…same Different service…same Different working…same GOD Gives Spiritual Gifts! Who Spiritual Gifts (vs.7) Avoid Two Common Pitfalls: – God gifts a few outstanding people – “There’s nothing I can do that’s worthwhile…I can’t contribute anything” Every Christians Gets Spiritual Gifts Are Spiritual Gifts Given? 1 Corinthians 12:7 – “ Good” “Sumpheron” – benefit, profitable, useful 1 Peter 4:10 – “To Others” Serve For The Common Good Are The Spiritual Gifts? CONCLUSION: God’s gifts are given to God’s children so that God’s world might be drawn to God’s Son.
