What are good works?
Last week we read in 2 Timothy 3:14-17 that God’s word is powerful to establish us in sound doctrine, to correct us and thoroughly outfit us for every good work – of course one of those good works is being a good and faithful steward over the spiritual gifts the Spirit has given you.
However there are many more good works!
What are they, what do they have to do with Christ being formed in us and doing ministry work?
That is what we begin to address this week.
So are you ready to dive into learning more about good works?

This morning we took a closer look at the differences between the Gifts of 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, Ministry as illustrated in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 & operations as mentioned in 1 Corithians 12: 28-29.
We also spend some time working through the legistics of these three – how they function, what is their purpose, what goal is being achieved in their use. We also took time to explain “how they work” as well as “how they all work together”.
We addressed Jesus’ Lordship over the body and its various parts and function and the implications it has on how we do ministry as a local assembly.
We also spent a little time here and there explaining how to discover what your gift(-s) may be and where in the body Christ has placed you and to what purpose.
All in all, we covered a fair amount of ground in this service.

Ministry, Love & Renewing the Mind Pt. 2
Today we went further in our studies of the connection between renewing the mind, love and desiring spiritual gifts. The interplay between these is undeniable and are key to spiritual maturity – both of the person desiring to be used in Spiritual gifts as well as those being ministered to.
We examined what the scriptures lay down as the methodology of this process and then dove right into defining what are spiritual gifts anyway. We closed out by reading through two of the non-comprehensive lists of these gifts given in scripture.
