The Holy Spirit: The Gifts Pt 2

This episode is the second part of Luke and Nick's discussion on the Gifts of the Spirit.   They discuss several of the gifts and how each of them manifest themselves in believers today and how they further unite and edify the Church.   In this episode you will find knowledge and wisdom to help you understand the gifts as well as encouragement to seek the gifts.  You will also hear warnings against false teachings and prideful use of the gifts that occur all too often in the church and create unnecessary divisions and damage to the Body of Christ.   We hope this discussion blesses you and deepens your desire to study the Bible on this topic.

While there are a few different views within the church today, this episode attempts to cut through the confusion to bring clarity and solid biblical understanding to an important topic. These gifts are given by the Holy Spirit for the building up and unification of the Church—making it a vital topic for every Christian to understand.
