In this two-week, interactive course you will join your instructor and fellow learners on a journey of discovery! By reading, discussing, and engaging in practical exercises, participants will find that God gives spiritual grace gifts for two purposes: For you to uniquely serve on a personal level, and so that your gifts and the gifts of others may work together for the common good. In other words, spiritual grace gifts matter both to you and to the mission and ministry of the church. Whether you are exploring spiritual gifts for the first time or have already been serving from them and want to know more, this course will enhance your understanding of God’s divine, supernatural abilities given as special ministry tools to be used (if you choose) to love others.
Learners will need to obtain this book: For the Common Good: Discovering and Using Your Spiritual Gifts by Christine Harman
