Spiritual Gifts That Stretch | Gifted Week 8

Spiritual gifts sometimes are shown in different traditions as speaking in tongues, dramatic healings, or even exorcisms—but what are they really? In the United Methodist Church, spiritual gifts are understood as the unique abilities given by the Holy Spirit to every believer for the purpose of building up the church and serving others. Rather than being rare or flashy, they are often practical and relational. Examples are teaching, encouragement, leadership, generosity, and compassion. At their core, spiritual gifts are less about extraordinary moments and more about how each person is uniquely equipped to participate in God’s work in everyday life.   Join us as we explore these today!
