 Pursuing Spiritual Transformation Series
Gifts: The Joy of Serving God
By John Ortberg, Laurie Pederson, Judson Poling
Willow Creek Resources
ISBN: 0310220777
 
This study focuses on growing your faith through using your spiritual gifts and having a servant heart. Do you have a passion to be used by God? This study will guide you and fellow group members to find your unique place in the body of Christ and help teach you how to surmount obstacles that may keep you from thriving. There is joy in serving with others - doing together what you cannot do alone. There is vitality in abiding in Christ, that grows as you give.

Love Your City
 		  
Love [Your City] is based on the generosity of God spilling out of our lives, and out of our churches into the lives of the people in our communities. The method we’re using is called “servant evangelism” which is offering people free gifts or services to show God’s love in a practical way - no strings attached!

Spiritual Gifts Assessment

God's Family First




 To find a spiritual gifts assessment you can do yourself, here is a good one from

Lifeway: Biblical Solutions for Life.

www.lifeway.com/lwc/files/lwcf_wmn_ spiritualgifts_survey.pdf

(If you have trouble with this link, simply go through www.lifeway.com and search for “spiritual gifts”.
 
Then open the article called “Discovering and Using Our Spiritual Gifts” where you will find this download called “Spiritual Gifts Survey”.)

If you’d rather buy a paper copy of this survey (@ $1.75 each), contact Lifeway’s Canadian offices by calling 1-866-541-3179 or by e-mail at: lifeway@rgm.ca
