FOCUS on the Gifts of the Spirit with Jonathan Robinson (Small Group Resource)

Spiritual gifts can be a controversial topic in today's churches. Some feel the Spirit is being quenched, while others feel prophecy and other spontaneous gifts can disrupt our worship and even be used to manipulate or harm others. These challenges are nothing new. In this webinar we will examine the teaching of the New Testament, particularly in 1 Corinthians 12-14, as well as practical examples from present-day churches, asking the question: how can we "eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit" and express them "in a fitting and orderly way" (1 Cor 14:1, 40)?
