Supernatural lifestyle - The gifts of the Spirit (part 2)

Serve as one body, release healing, wisdom, faith, and discernment for the good of all.

 

Session 4 - Supernatural lifestyle - The gifts of the Spirit (part 2)

This session sets spiritual gifts in the context of the church as the body of Christ, where gifts are given for the common good rather than spiritual status. It explores gifts such as healing, faith, knowledge/wisdom, miracles, and discernment.

Key themes

  •  
    The church is one body with many parts, and spiritual gifts are spread widely across God’s people.
  •  
    Spiritual gifts are given “for the common good,” not to create spiritual superstars.
  •  
    God is a healing God, and the Holy Spirit still works through believers to bring healing to others.
  •  
    The Holy Spirit can give a “gift of faith” to overcome fear and step out in prayer and service.
  •  
    The Holy Spirit can give messages of knowledge and wisdom to unlock difficult situations.
  •  
    The Holy Spirit gives discernment to recognise what is truly of God amid counterfeits.
