I want you to turn to I Corinthians chapter 12 for our study of God's word. We've been studying spiritual gifts and we've been looking at some of the gifts that are not taught very often in Baptist churches. As a matter of fact I don't remember some of these gifts being taught at all when I was growing up. Maybe they were taught while I was talking or something or out playing or something else.

I talked about the greatest miracle of all and that is the salvation of a lost soul, a person who is on his way to hell without Christ and God totally changes ...
