Spiritual GiftsFrom Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. (Eph. 4:16)
Written in the context of spiritual gifting, Ephesians 4:16 lets us know that every Christian has a part in the church which will be instrumental to the growth of the Body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:7 says, "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good."
Although the Bible does not come right out and define what a gift is, there is enough teaching on this subject to draw an adequate conclusion. The main references to spiritual gifts are found in 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, and Ephesians 4. The following definition brings together some key truths from the Word of God: A spiritual gift is a special divine empowerment bestowed on each believer by the Holy Spirit to accomplish a given ministry God's way according to his grace and discernment to be used within the context of the Body of Christ.

This tool, an easy and simple survey, only takes about twenty minutes to complete. After the survey is done, the results will be immediately made available to you (and no one else as this is a private questionnaire). We look forward to celebrating together the gifts that God has so freely given to us so that we can build his Kingdom here on earth.
