How to Discover Your Spiritual Gifts (10 of 12)
Series: Foundations: What Every Christian Ought to Know

Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
Since the second week of January, we've been in a sermon series called, Foundations: what every Christian ought to know. You've stuck with me the entire time; you're doing great!
