Synopsis
Friends often say that “we are all ministers,” but too rarely do we prepare ourselves to recognize, welcome, and nurture gifts of ministry among us. These gifts aren’t rewards for good behavior or badges of honor. Instead, they are a gift of God’s grace poured out, unearned, for the building of the Kingdom of Heaven among us. What would it look like to see in those gifts the beautiful diversity of God’s creation? Spiritual gifts invite us to unite in our differences as worshiping communities whose life together is a testimony to God’s wisdom, God’s righteousness, and – most of all – God’s love. Discussion questions are included.
