I Corinthians 12:28-31

We are going into a Bible study that you will
certainly need if you haven't needed it before. At
some point, at some time, you'll have to deal with the
matters which come before us in our study on the role
of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers and in the
matters of spiritual gifts.
I Corinthians 12 has already given us already in
the opening verses a list of spiritual gifts and
continues in verse 28. If you have been a Christian

the Word of God and faithful to the teachings of the

has to say and the way churches interpret those
things, one of the areas where you will find there is
a great deal of difference and a great deal of
disagreement in the matter of spiritual gifts. We've
been looking at what the Word of God has to say about
spiritual gifts and we have found the Bible makes
several very key statements about these spiritual
gifts.
The Bible teaches that every believer has one or
more spiritual gifts. Also, we find in the Word of
God that the Holy Spirit sovereignly bestows these
gifts upon believers. It is not for us to select
cafeteria style the particular gift or gifts we would
like to have, but the Bible says the Holy Spirit gives
these gifts as H ...
