And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. (Mark 10:44)
There are nine spiritual gifts which we will call the "serving gifts". These gifts are not special offices such as those of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor or teacher. They are not speaking gifts where one stands before the church body to minister the Word of God. Neither are they sign gifts (which we will learn more of in future lessons) which are given to confirm the truth of the Gospel.
These nine gifts "serve" the church by providing structure, organization, and support in both spiritual and practical areas. The nine serving gifts are: -Discerning of spirits -Helps -Leadership -Serving -Administration -Mercy -Faith -Hospitality -Giving |
