God’s various gifts are handed out everywhere; but they all originate in God’s Spirit. God’s various ministries are carried out everywhere; but they all originate in God’s Spirit. God’s various expressions of power are in action everywhere; but God himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits. All kinds of things are handed out by the Spirit, and to all kinds of people!
• A spiritual gift is a Holy Spirit–empowered ability that is given to serve others.
• In order for the church to run properly we need everyone functioning in the gifts that God gave them.
• Your gift was not given to you for you!
• The Bible teaches that spiritual gifts were given to us for others.

1 Corinthians 12:27 KJV
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
• Particular = Special
• We will never get the full power and potential out of the body of Christ if we are not all working together properly.
• “Helps” in the Greek is “rendering practical aid and support.”
• “Oh! The infinite value of the humble Gospel helpers. Thousands of people who have no gifts as leaders are number-one helpers. How grand revival work moves along when red-hot platoons of fire-baptized helpers crowd around God’s heroic leaders of the embattled hosts.” ~Rev. W. B. Godbey, a 19th century preacher
• “There is no hierarchy in the gifts of God. The ministry of the church does not rest on status, but on service. No gift that serves others is little. God uses both stars and candles to light His world.” ~ Broadman
Acts 6:1-8
• God isn’t going to do something until we are doing something.
• But remember … to just have power isn’t what makes a hero. There has to be action.
