Theme: The Person Work of the Holy Spirit
This Sunday, our Bible study will be exploring the work of the Holy Spirit in giving us spiritual gifts. Attached is the outline for your perusal.
Key Learning Points:
1. Spiritual gifts are divinely given capacities to perform the various needs in the Church. Just as the human body has members with different capacities, so individual Christians forming the church as the body of Christ have different capacities for ministry to the Body.
2. The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every Christian for the benefit of all. Spiritual gifts are God’s provision to equip His children for Ministry “in ways beyond mere human capability and ingenuity”.
3. We are free to desire spiritual gifts. But they are bestowed by the sovereign choice of God and need to be exercised in the power and under the direction of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not give us spiritual gifts for our own vainglory, but for the service of the Body and for the benefit of all.
May God grant us grace to faithfully exercise our gifting for the benefit of all.
