Spiritual Gifts Paper

PART ONE: What are your top two spiritual gifts? Do you agree with the results? Why or Why not? My top two spiritual gifts are; Evangelist, Pastor/Shepherd. I agree with the results because I have grown up in church I was a nine month before birth in the church kind of child. There have been many people I look up to. One person I really look up to is my youth pastor. From my tenth grade year I had this youth pastor. In my eleventh grade year he had this conversation to me about a certain situation. Because of this conversation it has brought me to be so much closer in my walk with Christ that i was before. I also want to be able to impact peoples lives just as my youth pastor did. As I continue on this Christian journey, I pray that God will lead me where I can be used by God to help people daily. There is, no better gifts than the gifts from God. I truly love telling people about Him.
PART TWO: Specifically, how can you use your gifts at this time? How might you misuse your gifts? My gift of evangelism is a special gift given by the Holy Spirit to certain members of the Church to share the Gospel with unbelievers in such a way that the believer becomes a disciple of Jesus Christ. My gift of evangelism includes; joyful speaking to others about Jesus Christ; knowing when a person is ready to accept Jesus Christ; have a strong burden or compulsion to speak to people about their need for Christ; being happy to share how Christ has brought him to Him; being able to explain clearly the meaning that Jesus Christ is Savior, and continually seek out unbelievers in order to win them to Christ. My gift of evangelism can be used for: calling on visitors in Church; neighborhood witnessing; distributing tracts; serve on Evangelism Committee; create an opportunity or ministry for the gift. Pastor/Shepherd is used only once in the New Testament. Usually when a person thinks of the term “pastor” they think

    This laboratory is based on a series of famous experiments that were conducted in the 1960’s along the rocky shore of Washington state, in the northwestern United States…The nine species in this laboratory’s simulated rocky intertidal area include three different algae (including one you may have eaten in a Japanese restaurant); three stationary (or “sessile”) filter-feeders; and three mobile consumers (Keystone Predator Student Workbook). In this simulation there are nine different species. The Nori Seaweed, Black Pine, Coral Weed, Mussels, Acorn Barnacles, Gooseneck Barnacles, Whelk, Chiton, and Starfish. The Nori seaweed, Black Pine, and Coral Weed are all algae, which means they live in damp environments and are plant like and have chlorophyll. Having chlorophyll they make their own food through photosynthesis, the fact they can make their own food makes them autotrophs or producers, and are the lowest on the trophic level. The Acorn barnacles, mussels, and gooseneck barnacles are the filter feeders of this environment they do not move. They are the herbivores of this environment and the primary consumers on the trophic level. The whelk, chiton, and starfish are the only mobile species in this environment. Also they are the only carnivores in the environment and are secondary consumers on the trophic level.…

    Final Project

    For this project, I am placing myself in a hypothetical context as a staff pastoral counselor at my home church in Valley City, ND, serving a congregation of approximately 200. I have chosen as my overarching goal for life to serve others in the capacity for which the Lord has gifted me and prepared me to counsel and minister to them. 1 Peter 4:9 tells us that, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” I believe that serving in a counseling role is my gift, and that it is my calling to use that gift to serve others, and in doing so, to obey God.…

    Christian Ministry

    Christian ministry can be defined in many different ways. Ministry is often viewed as meeting a need with compassion, whether it is a spiritual, physical, or emotional need. Ministry done in a Christian context is typically done with the intention of introducing someone to the message of the Gospel or aiding them in maturing in their relationship with Jesus Christ. There are many activities that are important to Christian ministry and important for believers in Jesus Christ to participate in. The purpose of this writing is to offer a brief examination of three of these activities and seek to answer the question ‘What is the essential activity of Christian ministry?’…

    Pneumatology: Spiritual Gifts

    I believe that Spiritual Gifts are the talents that God grants to each of His children. Some of the Spiritual Gifts that I possess are the gift of teacher, the gift of helper, the gift of discernment, and the gifts of exhortation and intercession. I have found that the more that I grow as I study God’s Word, the Spiritual Gifts that He gave to me tend to expand and they often times overlap. I think that the reason we are given Spiritual Gifts is so that we will have the tools that we need when we are performing the tasks that we have been charged with in order to build and edify the Kingdom of God.…

    Ephesians 4 Research Paper

    Spiritual gifts are not something the individual can do on their own or can better perfect by their own nature. Rather, they manifest themselves as personality traits or talents that are specifically from God. They are what is good about God in a person, therefore a person cannot boast or brag about the spiritual gift they have because it is not of themselves but of God. Gifts are freely given from God so that no one may boast. A Christian cannot get more of a spiritual gift by just trying.…

    Christian Service Philosophy

    Christian Service Philosophy

    One of the first things we did in this class was evaluate ourselves and learn what we have been gifted with by God as far as Spiritual Gifts. I think this was a very valuable process because it made us think about ourselves and what we feel have been things important and well experienced in our lives. After this process, we shared these different gifts with the class and this was a real turning point. For most people who never do the Spiritual Gifts Inventory process, they may never fully understand how God can use their gifts. I am not saying they can’t use their gifts or that they won’t know what they are, they would just have a greater appreciation for those abilities and gifts if they recognized them. This is where Christian service comes into practice. Since we all have different gifts, we can use them in different ways to approach Christian service and sharing the love of Christ to everyone around us. Some people might have the gift of Pastor, Giving, Hospitality, and Miracles. Others might have more or less or a different combination of the gifts we recognized in the process. I think this is how we can take ownership of the World around us the process of Christian service. I mean, how boring would life be if we were all only good at the same things and didn’t have any variation, REALLY BORING! As we discussed in class that every person has their own narrative in life, this is really a little part of our narrative, which in all reality should be a big part of our narrative. As Paul said in Romans 12:16, “God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well,” we need to use these gifts to the fullest in Christian service to those around us. Now that we understand the gifts that we do have and that each person is unique in the gifts they posses, we need to use those gifts to reach out to those around in the…

    Personal Vision of Ministry

    So this would be my personal ministry of how I am to share Christ Jesus Love. To be able to teach, and lead others to Christ through scripture. As a church youth minister, I should be one that is connected with today’s youth. A youth minister should lead children, not only in their spiritual growth but their personal development as well. A youth minister needs to possess great leadership qualities and have plenty of experience and testimony in order to share with the children. I must be able to train and encourage others within the church. I will be discipline, self-motivated, organized, and spiritually mature. This is why I believe AME will help me further Gods ministry, and gain more knowledge of who God is. Scripture says Lots about knowledge throughout the bible. One…

    Spiritual Gifts

    After spending time in class talking over the list of spiritual gifts and learning more about each I feel like I can better decide what my gifts are. As we went over them I felt that my gifts are encouragement, wisdom, service. I feel like these gifts are the ones God has given to me. Encouragement is the gift of seeing the glass as “half full”. It is being able to find the positive spiritual and emotional outcome of a situation. The gift of Wisdom is the gift of being able to work through situations. Service is pretty much what it seems it would be. It is the gift of putting others first and wanting to help those who need it rather than worry about yourself. Faith is the gift of trusting in God and knowing he has the best for you in all areas of your life. The gifts that God has given to me is for a purpose, just as everything else he does. Although at this time in my life, I may not know why He has given these gifts to me, I trust that when I do discover the reason, I will continue to praise Him with these spiritual gifts God has provided to me.…
