Use Your Spiritual Gifts (Ephesians 4:7-14) | Pastor Mike Burnette

God has gifted you with divine power to make a difference. In Week 5 of The Journey, Pastor Mike Burnette dives into the vital topic of Spiritual Gifts. We often think of "grace" only as forgiveness, but the biblical word Charis also means a divine empowerment given to every believer. You are not just a spectator; you are a minister called to build up the body of Christ. Whether you attend our locations in Clarksville, Springfield, Pleasant View, or watch online, this message will challenge you to stop sitting on the sidelines. Discover how your unique personality and abilities fit into God's plan, why the distinction between "clergy" and "laity" is unbiblical, and how using your gifts leads to true spiritual maturity and unity. 📍 Plan a Visit: https://lifepointchurch.tv/visit 👥 Join a Small Group: https://lifepointchurch.tv/groups 00:00 - The Journey Series: Walking with Christ 02:20 - The Great Commission & The Mandate to Make Disciples 05:52 - Message Title: Use Your Spiritual Gifts 09:50 - Defining Grace as "Divine Enablement" (Ephesians 4) 12:28 - The Purpose of Pastors vs. The Purpose of the People 19:15 - What is a Spiritual Gift? 23:28 - Truth 1: Every Believer is a Minister (No Clergy/Laity) 25:49 - Truth 2: Every Gift is Unique and Important 28:06 - Truth 3: Your Gifts Reveal Your True Identity 32:24 - 3 Practices: Discover, Develop, and Deploy 34:37 - The Thanksgiving Dinner Parable: Which Gift Are You? 37:19 - Your Next Step: Growth Track People Also Ask Q: Does every Christian have a spiritual gift? A: Yes! According to Ephesians 4:7 and 1 Peter 4:10, grace has been given to "each one" of us. God has designed you with a specific purpose and supernatural ability to serve the Church and the world. You are not an exception. Q: What is the difference between a talent and a spiritual gift? A: While talents can be natural abilities, a spiritual gift is a supernatural "Divine Enablement" (Charis) given by the Holy Spirit to empower you to do ministry, build up the church, and glorify God in ways you couldn't do on your own. Q: How do I discover my spiritual gifts? A: Discovery happens through relationship with God and serving others. At LifePoint, we have a specific process called Growth Track designed to help you uncover your personality style and spiritual gifts so you can find your perfect fit in the body of Christ.
