Spiritual gifts are some of the fantastic benefits to following Jesus. They’re also highly mysterious and sought after by many Christians who want to know what unique gifts God gave them so they can find where they fit in the Kingdom of God. In today’s blog post, we challenge the idea that spiritual gifts are just something for the individual, but instead beneficial to the whole body of Christ.

Adjust some levels on the sound system, fix the lights, move the chairs around, change the music, get a new kids ministry curriculum, start a new program, discontinue a program.
