This Week's Message
Spiritual Gifts: Service/Helping
Pastor Doug Hinton
Readings
Acts 7
The Spiritual gift of service or helping seems to flow most naturally through the Brethren church (and some other local denominations). We see this gift flow through the first Greek deacons in Acts 7, but who else comes to mind when we think of service or helping? Martha, the sister of Mary? Those who helped Jesus or Paul in their ministries? What does this gift look like today? What dangers await us if we lift the gift above the give (like some do with tongues)? What happens if we only practice this gift, divorced from the message of Christ or the other gifts in His body? What purpose does this gift carry and how might we be most faithful to practice it?
