Sabbath School Lesson 6 Summary – Spiritual Gifts | Q3 2026

Sabbath School Lesson Summary, this week's episode gets spiritual gifts explained in a clear, Spirit-filled way straight from 1 Corinthians 12 to 14. Host Rod Butler leads a concise, interactive Bible study with guests Gayl Fong and Harold Harker, unpacking why God gives different believers different abilities, why churches sometimes divide over gifts and ministries, and what Paul meant when he called love "a more excellent way." The conversation walks through Paul's body-of-Christ analogy in 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, the proper use of speaking in tongues at Pentecost and in the Corinthian church, and why Paul rates the gift of prophecy more highly for building up the congregation. The panel also tests genuine prophecy against Isaiah 8:20 and Amos 3:7, and shows how 1 Corinthians 13 keeps every gift grounded in love rather than pride or comparison. Whether you already know your spiritual gift or you're still discovering it, this episode offers fresh, practical application: how to identify your gift through prayer, service, and honest feedback from mature believers, and why even the quieter, "hidden" gifts carry equal honor in God's family. It's a no-filler Bible study built for personal devotion, small group discussion, or Sabbath School class — everything you need to prepare for Sabbath in about 30 minutes.
