Spiritual Gifts


4/30

Isnt it amazing that out of billions of people not

even counting the many that have already livedand died you are unique, and there is no one

quite like you?

Sure, we feel the same things, we live in the

same world, we have the same needs, and so on.

But we are not all the same, because we are each

wonderfully made by God (Psalms 139:13-17).

It is truly mind-blowing that God has not only

created each of us unique,He has also created

us with a purpose. A loving and perfect Father,

He has equipped us to live for a reason. The

Spiritual Gifts are some of the tools God has

given us to live out a fulfilling life (1 Corinthians

12:4-7).

You are indeed a person that is wonderfully and

uniquely made, but it is not just that there is a

purpose and reason for your existence. Here as a

church, we want to help you recognize your

Spiritual Gifts, and we want to help you to put

them to good use.

This autumn, our campaign is this exciting

theme: Spiritual Gifts. The idea behind it is

simple but powerful: we want to help you to

understand the amazing gifts God has given you

and how fulfilling it is to put them to good use.

Because by doing so you are helping to build His

church and expand His Kingdom.

Blessings,

Giordanni de Carvalho

Psalms 139:13-17

For you created my inmostbeing; you knit me

together in my mothers

womb. I praise you because

I am fearfully and

wonderfully made; your

works are wonderful,I

know that full well. My

frame was not hidden from

you when I was made in the

secret place, when I was

woven together in the

depths of the earth. Your

eyes saw my unformed

body; all the days ordained

for me were written in your

bookbefore one of them

came to be.How preciousto me are your thoughts,

God! How vast is the sum of

them!

1 Corinthians 12:4-7

There are different kinds of

gifts, but the same Spirit

distributes them. There are

different kinds of service,

but the same Lord. There

are different kinds of

working, but in all of them

and in everyone it is the

same God at work. Now to

each one the manifestation

of the Spirit is given for thecommon good.

This guide is meant to be used in your community group to help

guide the conversation during the week after the Sunday sermon.The material for study is the scripture included and the pastors

sermons. If you miss a sermon, you can download it from church.fi.

Read the Bible

Each week there are a set of scripture passages. You can choose to

read the one that the Pastor concentrated on in his last sermon, ortake one or two of the others.

Talk it through

Spend some time going through one or more of the Open

discussion questions. Then take one or two of the Discover

questions to help expand that discussion. The Reflectquestions

will help tie up the conversation and get some focus on your

thoughts.

There is little chance that your group will be able to answer all of

the questions in one evening. Try to choose questions that meet

the needs of your group. You know best which questions will

encourage the best discussion.

Apply it to your life

The Commit questions are designed to help guide the members ofyour group to action and application of the things they have

learned.

Sing a song

We recommend starting or ending your community group sessions

with a song or hymn of praise. We have included some songs (and

the related YouTube links) that tie in well with the content of each

weeks discussion.
