Those With the Gifts podcast

In every aspect of a Christ follower’s life, the Spirit points us to Jesus & pours out the love of God into our hearts. We are to live in the Spirit & by the Spirit so no aspect of our lives needs to lack His touch. What He did for the 1st century believers as they lived, worked, hoped and worshiped He wants to do for us today as well!

In order to be effective witnesses & servants for Christ we need the power of the Holy Spirit! Consider the disciples; while they were gathered in an upper room the Holy Spirit arrived filling each of them with His power so they could be witnesses proclaiming the gospel beginning in Jerusalem to Judea & Samaria and to the ends of the earth.

The coming of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost is referred to as “The Gift of the Spirit’ which is different from “The Gifts of the Spirit”. In this latest installment of our “Holy Spirit WHO?? series we focused the Gifts of the Spirit in a message entitled “Those With the Gifts.” In Ephesians the Spiritual Gifts listed are for the establishment of the church as a whole, in 1 Corinthians the Spiritual Gifts listed are for edification & encouragement of the local church & in Romans the Spiritual Gifts listed are for service & outreach. Believers can have a few Spiritual Gift’s & every believer has at least one.

You know the drill; just click on the title of this blog post & you’ll be directed to our podcast webpage.

God bless & enjoy this talk on Spiritual Gifts!
