We receive our gifts for use for the common good.
Our gifts are put into service by action.

There are three categories of gifts:

                 Gifts of Word

                 Gifts of Deed
                                                         Gifts of Sign

God's Gifts: How God's Gifts Work

We continued our sermon series "God's Gifts" about the gifts of the Spirit.  Sermon February 13, 2011, on the scripture text Romans 12:1-8.  This week we learned that God's Gifts to us:

Transform us
Unite us
Transforms our world

For the first sermon in the series see, "The Work of the Spirit."

Next week we will look at the Gifts of the Spirit.  Which gifts has God given you?

God's Gifts: The Work of the Spirit

We began a new sermon series entitled "God's Gifts" about the gifts of the Spirit.  We have had a couple of Sunday school classes studying "Serving from the Heart."  This has brought about discussion on spiritual gifts.

Sermon February 6, 2010 on the scripture 1 Corinthians 2:6-13.  In his week's sermon, "The Work of the Spirit," we learned that the Spirit:

_______________ God to us.

Give us ____________________.

Helps us to __________________ things that are spiritual.

Next week we look at "How God's Gifts Work."
