Spiritual gifts are something every believer is given when they receive the gift of salvation. Just as the gift of salvation is by grace through faith, so are the spiritual gifts. Our God is so generous. He is constantly giving us things. Spiritual gifts are something every believer is given when they receive the gift of salvation.

This week, Pastor Sue will begin a new sermon series on spiritual gifts. We’ll explore what spiritual gifts are, and over the course of the series we’ll look at clusters of these gifts, starting with Witnessing Gifts. In coordination with this series, Sue will teach a class on spiritual gifts starting April 14, using the book For the Common Good; Discovering and Using Your Spiritual Gifts, by Christine Harman. Debi is ordering a few copies or you may order your own. Please let Pastor Sue know of your interest in this class by sending her an email at pastorsue@millplainumc.org. The class will meet on Sundays after worship and will last for four weeks. As we pursue this study, Sue encourages everyone to explore your own spiritual gifts. There are a variety of spiritual gift inventories available on the web. One of those can be found at https://www.umcdiscipleship.org/spiritual-gifts-inventory/en
