Spiritual Gifts

“Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.” (1 Cor.12:1)

Henards Chapel Baptist Church wants to help each member to discover, develop and utilize his/her spiritual gifts. Every Christian has at least one spiritual gift, which is a supernatural ability. The purpose of each gift is to serve Christ and His Church. At Henards Chapel, you will be given a Spiritual Gift Inventory to help you discover your primary gifts. The result of your test will be recorded on a “Ministry Resume” which will be given to a ministry leader.

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10

He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. Psalm 18:33

Her grace and beauty was breathtaking. The doe paused for a moment, then she sprang forth in a poetic dance of joy. Effortlessly, she scaled the rocky incline, never missing her footing, until she stood out against the autumn sky. Her gentle eyes scanned the horizon, she sniffed delicately, shook her head once, and then was off.
God has equipped His creation with many wonderful and amazing qualities. The doe who can climb steep mountains with nary a misstep, the jaguar that can outrun any prey and turn sharply at its fastest pace, the eagle who can span vast distances in a matter of hours; all these creatures are strong because they use their God-given gifts as they were intended to.
There is a lesson to learn from such creatures. We, too, have been given many wonderful gifts. When we affirm the gifts we have been given, then God will surely bless us, and we will be a sign to others of His goodness. Embrace them and know that the Lord is good.
