Do We All Have Spiritual Gifts?

Read 1 Corinthians 1:1-3

Today’s Truth

Paul is writing to a church that is in a war over which spiritual gifts are the most significant. There are not “levels” of spiritual gifts. Each gift is God’s, so all are equally powerful and just as special. We watch others, comparing their “results” to ours. Usually, our lack of results stems from a lack of movement. God’s power is not weak in some areas while strong in others. He is all-powerful, and every gift He gives has the potential to be world-changing.

Discussion Questions

What is one of your spiritual gifts?
What opportunities do you have right now to use your spiritual gift(s)?

Application

With the flashlight, we have exactly what we need to light up our surroundings. The light won’t shine, though, unless we turn it on. In the same way, we have everything we need through Jesus to light up our surroundings, using the gifts and tools He has given us.

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
