Gifted to Give!

Mar 15, 2026    Randy Eliason

In this message, we explore Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 12:1–11 about spiritual gifts and their purpose in the church. The Corinthian believers had a distorted view of spirituality—elevating certain gifts and individuals as “super-spiritual.” Paul corrects this by reminding them that all gifts come from the same Spirit and are given for the common good.


- Diversity and unity must co-exist in the Body of Christ.

- Spiritual gifts are not for personal status but for serving others.

- The Holy Spirit determines how and when gifts are expressed.


This sermon invites us to desire spiritual gifts—not for self-promotion, but to be channels of God’s grace, healing, and truth. We are gifted to give.
