Unwrapping Your Spiritual Gifts (6 of 7)
Improving Your Image -- A Whole You for a Holy God
Stan Coffey
Romans 12:3-9
This is the sixth in a series of messages on improving our image. We are talking about man being made in the image of God and that image of Christ in which we were recreated when we were born again. And how important that is that our self-image is that image that the Lord placed in us. We see ourselves as the Lord Himself sees us.

Last week we said that a spiritual gift was different from a natural ability. We are born with natural abilities but God gives us supernatural abilities when we are born again. These are our birthday gift from the Lord Jesus. And we said that every person has at least one spiritu ...
