Gifted Part 13: Serving The Mission (Helps and Administration) (1 Cor 12:28)

God has given his church many miraculous gifts of the spirit, all for the benefit of the church. God also gave very practical spiritual gifts that sometimes may be  overlooked or underestimated, yet these "behind the scenes" gifts are extremely valuable! The gift of helping involves compassion, caring for hurting people, and taking care of the needs of the church. The gift of administration is crucial to getting things done, organizing anything from events, finances, teams of volunteers, pastoral care, or benevolence ministries for the church family. These practical gifts are ones that Jesus himself possessed and demonstrated in his own life. He is the Ultimate Helper and the Master Administrator, and we can follow him in ministering these gifts in and through the local church.
