Sometimes the church world can overcomplicate things. We create theories, argue about semantics, and obsess over the wrong things. I think that this is especially true when we talk about the idea of spiritual gifts. We approach the idea of spiritual gifts around a central idea- what “thing” do I have that God has given me? But when Paul talks about spiritual gifts, his question is what “thing” can you do to serve others? It’s more about what we give than what we have. It’s about ministry, not talent. It’s about asking a very simple question, “How can I help?”
Note: There is a regrettable gap in the audio of about 3 minutes due to a technical difficulty.
