Gifts on Display: Operating in Your God‑Given Spiritual Gifts

This Bible study explores the difference between natural talents and spiritual gifts, and how God equips every believer with unique abilities for the building of His Kingdom. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12, the lesson emphasizes that spiritual gifts are not for spotlight, competition, or comparison—they are divine empowerments given by the Holy Spirit for service, unity, and the strengthening of the body of Christ.

The teaching highlights how gifts can be misunderstood, misused, or even become sources of division when believers lose sight of their purpose. Through discussion, the class examines how talents and spiritual gifts often overlap, how God aligns natural abilities with supernatural anointing, and how gifts must be developed through prayer, obedience, and consistent use. Ultimately, this lesson calls believers to discover their gifts, operate in humility, and allow God to work through them for the common good.
