STREAMGLOBE BIBLE STUDY MANUAL 11

TOPIC: Spiritual Gifts 

Text: 1 Corinthians 12

 

INTRODUCTION 

Spiritual Gifts are given to believers to help us be more fruitful. They are received by faith and not by works, thus they are gifts, not rewards. 

Many believers do not receive and manifest spiritual gifts because they consider them as rewards. Many do not believe that they can walk in them, and this mindset is a major hindrance. 

This study is to further help us understand spiritual gifts and how to receive and maximize them.
