SPIRITUAL GIFTS

Sunday School was great this morning as we discussed Spiritual Gifts. If you did not get to participate you can find a link to the Spiritual Gifts Survey and Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts at the left. The study today went through the verses I emailed everyone a week ago. There was a lot of good input from everyone. My favorite was the Mentos in Coke analogy.

If you haven't seen what Mentos does when dropped into Coke check out YouTube and type in Mentos in Coke, it's really cool. Anyway, we decided that we are Coke (or Diet Coke) and God's grace is the Mentos. God gives us the Mentos, I mean gifts, free. We don't do anything to earn it and we don't work for it. Until we take in the grace and the gifts God has given to us we are just Coke. When we allow the Mentos, gifts of grace, to come in and affect us we project that gift onto everyone around us. John warned us not to play grenade with our Coke and Mentos. Ask him about that story.

As you go through the week I pray you talk to God about what gift He has graced you with and how He wants to bless you through your gift.

Have a blessed week!

Spiritual Gifts

For those who made it to SS this morning I hope you learned something about the spiritual gifts you appear to be strongest in. If you didn't make it you can access the Spiritual Gifts Survey and the Discovering Spiritual Gifts by following the link on the left side of the page. I also emailed the .pdf formats of both forms to everyone last week.

Next week we will read and discuss the Spiritual Gifts Study verses. As we continue in this study please take in that God gave each of us gifts that we may fulfill His plans for us. As you discover your Spiritual Gifts ask God how He wants to bless you through your use of the gifts He has given you.

Have a Blessed Week!
