The Grace Gifts Part 1

Manifestations of the Spirit Part 4

What’s your immediate reaction to a story like that? Maybe you have more faith than I, but I tend to be skeptical. My initial thought is that I’d like proof. The story may or may not be real, but do I believe it could be true? Do you believe it’s possible that God could or would have done that kind of miracle? As Pastor Chris will challenge us in today’s message, if we believe God’s Word is true and that He’s all-powerful, making a tornado miraculously jump over someone’s house is easy for Him.

Wouldn’t it be nice if all we had to do was say a specific phrase and God would heal us from sickness or meet whatever need we’re facing? Where would we place our faith? If all that mattered was saying the correct words, those words would become the source of power. As Pastor Chris continues our study in the book of 1st Corinthians, he’ll explain why God isn’t held to a certain formula or pattern in answering our prayers. He wants our faith to be in Him, not in our own actions or words.

Have you ever experienced that? Whether you were the one sharing or the one receiving a word of knowledge, it’s a beautiful moment. It’s a reminder that our God is all-knowing, and He loves to use us to demonstrate that trait. As Pastor Chris will challenge us in today’s message, when we feel pressed by the Holy Spirit to share something with someone, we should step into it with bold humility. Even if you don’t understand why or how, God can speak through you in that moment.

Wisdom can come through experiencing a trial and coming out on the other side with a better understanding of that struggle. It can also come through studying God’s Word or the experience of your fellow believers, bringing understanding without the personal hardship. As Pastor Chris will point out in today’s message, wisdom can also be given miraculously. We saw this with Solomon, as God gave Him wisdom in an instant, and God can provide supernatural wisdom to all of us when we ask in faith.

When a sports team spirals, it usually starts with their coach and how much they care. Coaches get fired when they lose their locker room’s trust and can’t get their players to listen to them. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says if you’re a leader, you must lead with integrity and steward the gift God’s given you. People must know that you believe in them and that you care. If this is your gifting, don’t take it lightly! God’s extremely intentional in the giftings He gives! You’re handpicked by God!
