The Church: Perfectly Imperfect #6 - The Spiritual Gifts: God Empowering His People

Visible gifts can attract pride, while quieter service may seem unimportant. God gives every believer spiritual abilities through His Spirit, not for private enjoyment, but to build others toward maturity in Christ. Like parts of one body, Christians need gifts they do not possess themselves. Christ is God's greatest gift, and His Spirit enables each person to serve humbly as the church grows in love, makes disciples, and reaches the lost.
