Looking at the Gifts
Recognize the diversity and interdependence of spiritual gifts for the church's growth and mission.
Sermons
I’ve been preaching for over thirty years now. Almost every one of the sermons I’ve preached since 1996 is here.
Some of the sermons are good, but not all of them. I’ve learned a lot in the thirty-plus years I've been preaching, and I still have a long way to go.
Feel free to use these sermons as a resource. If you’re a preacher, please preach your own sermons.
What Are Spiritual Gifts?
Every Christian is called to use their unique spiritual gifts to serve the church and support its mission.
God’s Will for Your Life (Romans 12:1-8)
Every church member has unique spiritual gifts vital for ministry, and churches should empower members to use them instead of relying only on pastoral leadership.
Everyone’s a Minister (Ephesians 4:7-16)
Churches grow when pastors equip all members to use their spiritual gifts for ministry instead of doing all the work themselves.
Secrecy (Matthew 6:1-4, 16-18)
Practice spiritual disciplines and do good deeds secretly for God's approval alone.
