       So, let’s take a short time here and talk about Spiritual gifts. First, I want us to turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 12, and let’s read what the Apostle Paul says about ‘spiritual’ gifts. Here is what I want us to see today. First, notice that Paul talks about gifts, services, and activities. That’s interesting and something I want you to consider on your own time. Second, realize that God empowers each of these three things. Third, note that each believer “is given the manifestation of the Spirit.” So, these gifts display God in us—they show his goodness. Fourth, the gifts are “for the common good.” That is, they are to help our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Now, let’s consider the gifts that Paul mentions here. They are: the utterance of wisdom, utterance of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, the ability to distinguish between spirits, various kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues.
