What are spiritual gifts?22
"A spiritual gift is any ability that is empowered by the Holy Spirit and used in any ministry of the church"
Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology, 1016
What are spiritual gifts?22
"…a God-given ability for service"
Charles Ryrie, Basic Theology, 367
"…a spiritual capacity for development"
Earl Radmacher, Sermon on Gifts
What are spiritual gifts?22
Spiritual Gifts are Not:
a) Place of Service: the gift is the ability, not where the ability is used
b) Age Group Ministry: the gift is the ability, not who benefits from it
c) Natural Talents: the gift is the ability, not whether it came at birth
Spiritual gifts are only those mentioned in the Word of God
"Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body,
and we all belong to each other" (Romans 12:4-5 NLT)

The "Who" Questions22
Who has spiritual gifts? gives spiritual gifts? decides which gift each person should have?
•Every Christian (and only Christians) has a spiritual gift (vv. 7, 11, 18).
•The Holy Spirit gives the gifts (vv. 4, 7-9, 11, 18).
•The Holy Spirit decides which gift each believer receives (vv. 7, 8, 10, 11).

The Trinity22
The Involvement of the Whole Trinity (vv. 4-6):
•God the Spirit gives (distributes) the spiritual gifts (v. 4)
•God the Son assigns the place of the ministry of the gifts (v. 5)
•God the Father gives the energy operative through the gifts in the place of ministry (v. 6)

• "Doing" shouldn't replace "Doing" shouldn't replace ""beingbeing""
• "Service" shouldn't replace "Service" shouldn't replace ""charactercharacter""

Dangers of Studying Gifts
2) 2) Don't always reject serving in “non-gifted” areas because you don't have that gift (2 Tim. 4:5) (2 Tim. 4:5)
Don't reject opportunities to
discern your gift!
"OH, BUT I CAN'T SERVE ON THE EVANGELISM TEAM––YOU SEE, I
HAVE THE GIFT OF FAITH!"
Dangers of Studying Gifts
3) Don't think that spiritual gifts are rewards for service, for holiness, for sincerity, for maturity, or for anything else!
