Using the Various Gifts of Christ

In order for growth to occur in our church then every member must utilize the grace given to each of us by our Lord Jesus Christ.

‌This grace is specifically called “gifts.” These are the resources that we need to accomplish the task of growing our local church. These are not abilities or talents that our innately our own. These are graciously given to us by our exalted ascended Lord for a very specific purpose.

And if these gifts are not utilized by every member then it becomes very difficult, if not impossible, for church growth to occur.

What do we need to understand about these gifts so that growth can occur?
