What is your source of power for living out your faith? This four-week series, Empowered, reminds believers of the gift of the Holy Spirit while encouraging us to live a life of obedience empowered by the Spirit of God.
The entire chapter of 1 Corinthians 12 is an examination of the spiritual gifts God gives to believers. As Paul emphasizes, these gifts are not uniform. Some people’s gifts differ from those of others, just as some are called to different roles within the church ("Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?" 1 Corinthians 12:29). The church is united but not uniform. It’s a diverse collection of individuals who come together to worship and serve God.
