Each player brings his own dynamic to the game: for some it’s about intimidation; for others it’s a quiet but powerful exercise of God-given abilities; with a few players the battle is won through analysis and applied wisdom. There are times when […] http://faithaliveresources.org/Products/216585/discover-your-gifts-leaders-guide.aspx 2011-06-08T15:27:01-05:00 This five-session interactive course helps people identify their spiritual gifts to use in building up the church and kingdom of Christ in this world.

Discernment is something we should all practice in our everyday lives. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2012:1-31&version=NIV 2009-09-20T17:46:15-05:00 This passage gives us perspective on "spiritual gifts" and their place in the church. Gifts are talents and responsibilities bestowed on us by God, and each has its own place in the life of the church--none is "better" or more important than any other; they're all key parts of the whole, just as the various parts of the human body work together. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2012:28&version=NIV 2009-09-18T14:08:41-05:00 God has given each of us different and unique talents to use in the service of the church. One talents that certain people are given is that of administration--the ability to lead and manage the logistics of a church. These people can play a leadership role in the church. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2012:1&version=NIV 2009-09-03T13:50:17-05:00 In Paul's first letter to the Corinthians he tells them that he doesn't want them to be ignorant about spiritual gifts. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012:6-8&version=NIV 2009-08-13T11:50:36-05:00 We each have unique talents and gifts given to us by God, and we're called to use those gifts diligently in God's service, in the way that makes the most sense. Different Christians have wildly different interests and talents, but all should work together for the common cause of Christ. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Cor.12.1-1Cor.12.31&version=NIV 2009-07-14T11:00:28-05:00 This passage is a memorable description of how the diverse members of Christ's church all fit together. Using the analogy of the human body and its many different parts, each with its unique function, we learn that each of us has a special role to play in the kingdom of God. Nobody's talent is "better" than anybody else's--we're all working together to serve the body of Christ. http://70030.netministry.com/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=35664&columnid=3803 2008-10-27T20:20:59-05:00 How to Determine your Spiritual Gift(s)!
