For The Common Good

What does it really mean to be gifted?

Walk with us through Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 12 to help us rediscover the source, purpose, and power of the spiritual gifts. In a world obsessed with talent and platform, Paul reminds the church that the Holy Spirit gives gifts not for status, but for service.

Through the lens of Scripture—and with insight from all three persons of the Trinity—we see that spiritual gifts are given by God, through the Spirit, for the common good of the body. The gifts are not something we earn or manufacture, but manifestations of the Spirit’s presence among us.

🕊️ Every believer is gifted. The question is: Do we know what for?
