(S6E5) The Gifts of the Holy Spirit

By: Dr. Brian Chilton and Curtis Evelo | October 20, 2022

The podcast’s series on pneumatology is in full swing. This episode discusses the gifts of the Holy Spirit. What do we mean when we talk about the gifts of the Spirit? What are these gifts? Does everyone have a spiritual gift? Brian and Curtis will answer these questions and a lot more.

What are we talking about when we speak on the gifts of the Holy Spirit?
Who decides which individual receives each gift?
Can we have more than one spiritual gift?
Let’s look first at the spiritual gifts in the Romans 12:6-8. (Read the text before continuing.)
1. What is the gift of prophecy?
2. What is the gift of service?
3. What is the gift of teaching?
4. What is the gift of exhortation?
5. What is the gift of generosity?
6. What is the gift of leadership?
7. What is the gift of mercy?
Now, let’s consider the spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11. (Read the text before continuing.)
1. What is the gift of wisdom?
2. What is the gift of knowledge?
3. What is the gift of faith?
4. What is the gift of healing?
5. What is the gift of miracles?
6. We already mentioned the gift of prophecy, so there is no reason to repeat it.
7. What is the gift of discernment?
8. What is the gift of tongues? (Give both the Baptist and Assemblies of God interpretation. Brian will give the Baptist version, and Curtis will give the AG version.)
9. What is the gift of the interpretation of tongues? (Give both the Baptist and Assemblies of God interpretations. Brian will give the Baptist version, and Curtis will give the AG version.)
Let’s talk about the gifts and offices mentioned in Ephesians 4:11. (Read the text before continuing.)
1. What is the office and gift of apostleship? Is this office still in operation today?
2. We mentioned the gift of prophecy. What is the office and role of the NT prophet?
3. What is the gift and role of evangelism?
4. What is the gift and role of pastor/shepherd?
5. We mentioned the gift of teaching. What is the role of the Christian teacher?
Finally, let’s speak on the two gifts listed in 1 Peter 4:11.
1. What is the gift of speaking?
2. What is the gift of service?
Considering the primary topic of 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, why is it important that we know our spiritual gifts, and why is it important that we use them?
