Discovering Spiritual Gifts
It's way after the fact, but we thought we'd mention that Bill Werner recently led out a Sabbath morning class on helping people discover their place in the body of Christ. Spiritual gifts classes are a mainstay of all churches, but how many of us really earnestly and honestly follow through? Knowing your spiritual gifts is one thing, using your spiritual gifts is a whole other thing.
The group worked together on the following topics, ones we should ask ourselves regularly whether we're thinking about getting more involved or are deeply involved with several ministries:
Discovering our spiritual gifts--what gifts, talents, abilities has God given to me that can be used to honor Him and help others? Spiritual gifts answers the "What" question--what should I be doing in the body of Christ?
Discovering our personal style--what is the personal style that God has "wired" me up with? Am I people-oriented or task-oriented? Do I prefer to work within a well-defined structure or do I prefer an unstructured environment? Personal style answers the "How" question--how should I be working in the body of Christ, in harmony with my personal style.
Discovering our passion--what is my God-given passion in life? What do I get excited about, what motivates me. Our passion answers the "Where" question--where should I be serving in the body of Christ?
If you want to know more about how you can use your gifts at The Place, talk to Bill Werner at church or email us at jeremyabemail-bwerner@yahoo.com.
