Teaching Points
- 1
Every believer has been given at least one spiritual gift. The question is not 'Do I have one?' but 'Am I using it?'
- 2
Spiritual gifts are not for personal display — they are for building up the body of Christ.
- 3
Gifts are confirmed through use and through the testimony of the community. Other people often see your gift before you do.
- 4
The gifts work together — no single gift is complete on its own. The body needs every part.
- 5
Gifts can be developed. They are not static — they grow as you serve and mature.
