Summary

Knowing your spiritual gift is more than an interesting intellectual or religious exercise. It’s the key to unlocking the greatest tool for personal and Kingdom impact there is. Join Chip as he shares how you can discover your spiritual gift.

Main Points Four questions everyone needs to ask and answer about spiritual gifts:
  1. Why bother with spiritual gifts?

    • They are essential for determining God's will.

    • They are God’s “stamp of approval” on your value as a person.

    • When known and exercised, they put you in the place of meeting needs and building deep meaningful relationships.

    • The by-product of exercising your spiritual gifts is joy.

  2. What is a spiritual gift? Definition: A “divine endowment” of special ability upon every member of the Body of Christ which “fits” them for specific and corresponding service. -1 Corinthians 12:4-6

    • Gift - “Charismata”

    • Spiritual – “Pneumatikos”

    • Every spiritual gift embodies: Ability, Qualification, Strength, Responsibility

  3. How and why do we receive spiritual gifts?

    • They are distributed by the ascended Christ. -Ephesians 4:7-11

    • Gifts are distributed to every believer without exception at the time of salvation on the basis of grace. -1 Peter 4:10

    • Gifts are distributed for the profit of others. -1 Corinthians 12:7

    • Gifts are distributed sovereignly by the Holy Spirit in accordance with each believer’s best interest and God’s ultimate glory and purpose. -1 Corinthians 12:11

  4. How do I discover my spiritual gift(s)?

    • Pray seriously seeking guidance.

    • Study the gift passages in God’s Word.

    • “Test the waters.”

    • Examine the fulfillment factor.

    • Evaluate honestly.

    • Get quality counsel.
