3 77 Paul Teaches About Spiritual Gifts 1 Corithias 12:4-27 BIBLe BACKGROUND FOR LEADERS Key Poits o a Key Passage Paul begis today s passage with a key poit about spiritual gifts (verses 4-7): They are diverse, but they are uified because they come from the same God. There are may differet gifts, but the same God is workig through all of them. Ad they all are for a commo purpose: the good of the church. Gifts From God The questio may arise, What is the differece betwee spiritual gifts ad atural talets? The differece betwee spiritual gifts ad atural ability may ot have bee of cocer to Paul. Every good thig, every gift comes from God. What cocered Paul was that people exercise the gifts the Holy Spirit gave them ad use them to build up God s church. iteded for us i his church! That s how we ll be most fulfilled ad how we ll work together with other Christias to further God s kigdom o earth. The Jesus Coectio Your spiritual gifts are God-give opportuities to be like Jesus ad build up Jesus body. Have you take time to discover your spiritual gifts? Have you take time to develop ad refie your gifts? Complete a spiritual gifts ivetory or ask some Christias who kow you well to tell you what spiritual gifts they see i you. Ask God what your gifts might be. You ca write your prayer here. May Gifts, Oe Body I verses 12-27, Paul itroduces to the Corithias the cocept that the church is like a body, more specifically the body of Christ. Paul s message is a great equalizer: People with gifts that seem isigificat are actually much more importat tha they may thik, ad people with gifts that seem more spectacular are t ay more importat tha ayoe else. A sigificat fact to ote is foud i verse 18: God has arraged the parts i the body, every oe of them, just as he wated them to be. Buildig God s Kigdom I a body, if oe part is hurtig, the other parts feel the hurt. Ad if oe part feels great, it makes all of the body feel better. That s how God wats the church to be! God gives differet gifts for the buildig up of the body of Christ. We re all part of that body, ad God wats us to use the gifts he s give us to fill the place Grades 1 & 2 Lesso 8 Sprig Quarter
