This Week | February 14 – 20, 2025

February 16 | Romans – Grasping The Gospel, Romans 12:3-8, Part 47: Knowing and Operating in Your Spiritual Gifts – Pastor Mark Pospisil

Synopsis: God has made you good at something. When you come to faith in Jesus Christ, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit. So many things change in your identity, status, and destiny. One of the things that the Lord gives to all of His people is a spiritual gift (or gifts). There are things that we can contribute for the good of others. The problem is that many times, people struggle with understanding their spiritual gifts and how to operate in them. Romans 12:3-9 shows us how to do these things. It takes a body to be healthy and when we (the body of Christ) keep Jesus at the center and serve each other, God does awesome things among us.

Fighter Verse: Romans 12:4-5 – For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
