Sermon Notes: SPIRITUAL GIFTS

“HOW TO USE MY SPIRITUAL GIFT”

1 CORINTHIANS 12:1-7

 “Now concerning gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

Now, dear brothers and sisters, regarding your question about the special abilities the Spirit gives us. I don’t want you to misunderstand this. 2 You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols. 3 So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. 5 There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. 6 God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. 7 A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.”

So the “problems” in the Church needed the provision of the HOLY SPIRIT. How can we reach the masses when we have so much mess in here? Paul in 1 Corinthians was dealing with divisions and problems in the Church. So we must become clear on what spiritual gifts are and how to use them. You need to know.

1. You are an answer to a problem in the Earth right now!!! Romans 8:19

Remember we have been given Earth to exercise dominion. Psalm 115:16
