2 SUGGESTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS DISCOVERY QUEST 1. Begin your quest with prayer. 2. Use the Scripture references on the following pages to guide you: 3. Take your time answering each one, drawing on your own experience. 4. Skip a question and go back to it later if you are not sure. 5. Use a pencil so you can change your answer easily. 6. After completing the questions, set it aside and go over your answers at a later time. 7. When you are satisfied with your responses, complete the tally on the Spiritual Gifts Discovery Score Sheet to determine your dominant gifts. It may be easier to cut the Score Sheet from your booklet to make it easier to score. Please return completed score sheet to the Director of I LIKE MIKE. Consider the following as you read through the booklet and begin to understand the biblical basis for your Spiritual Gifts: DETERMINE: DEFINE: DISCOVER: DEVELOP: DEPLOY: What are the Spiritual Gifts? How do we describe the Spiritual Gifts? How do we find out which Spiritual Gifts we have? What can we do to nurture our Spiritual Gifts? How and where does God call us to use our Spiritual Gifts? 2
3 Romans 12:1-8 English Standard Version (ESV) 12 I appeal to you therefore, brothers,[a] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.[b] 2 Do not be conformed to this world,[c] but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.[d] 3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members,[e] and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads,[f] with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, English Standard Version (ESV) 4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. 27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way. Ephesians 4:7-8,11-13 English Standard Version (ESV) 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ s gift. 8 Therefore it says, When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men. [a] 11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds[a] and teachers,[b] 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, [c] to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:31 English Standard Version (ESV) 31 But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way. 3
4 1 Corinthians 14:18-19 English Standard Version (ESV) 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue. Psalm 150 English Standard Version (ESV) Let Everything Praise the Lord Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens![a] 2 Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! 3 Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! 4 Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! 5 Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! 6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Exodus 31:3-6 English Standard Version (ESV) 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, 4 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. 6 And behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have given to all able men ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 1 Peter 4:8-11 English Standard Version (ESV) 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God s varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 4
