God is Powerful in You: Discovering and Using Your Spiritual Gifts (Community Life) Paul Ford

The six lessons in the latest release for the Community Life series will help your small group members and leaders learn their spiritual gifts and begin to use them in safe environment. Using a unique method to discover one's spiritual gifts, the author guides the participants into a biblically-based understanding that spiritual gifts are for building up the body and increasing the kingdom of God.

Through the weeks of this guide, Paul Ford shows that spiritual gifts are where God uses one powerfully, not where he or she is comfortable... which is far different from taking an inventory to see where one might want to serve God. The members of the group are invited to distribute a form to other believers who know them well to receive input on where they seem the person powerfully used by God. This process itself is transformational for everyone involved, not just the person using the material!

Spiritual Gifts this agenda book explores are as follows: Pastor, Leader, Encourager, Evangelist, Teacher, Wisdom, Prophet, Faith, Knowledge, Helps, Administration, Service, Mercy, Giving, and Discerning true and false spirits.
