Summary
The Bible tells us that we receive gifts on the day of our spiritual birth. We are charged with using these gifts to build up the body of Christ. If members of the body do not use these gifts for the common good of the church, everyone suffers.
In "Who, Me? Gifted?" Michael Youssef unpacks the gifts of the Holy Spirit one by one so that believers everywhere will experience fulfillment, spiritual maturity, and unexpected blessings through these gifts bringing ultimate glory to God.
