📖 Scripture: John 10:25-37: (NIV) - The Parable of the Good Samaritan

What are your gifts?

The Bible lists three categories of spiritual gifts:

• Manifestation Gifts - the ability to reveal God's power and presence.
• Motivational Gifts - these shape how a person perceives and relates to the world, serving as a filter for your actions and character.
• Ministry or Leadership Gifts - these represent specific roles or offices given to individuals to equip a broader community.

There are other spiritual gifts you may not even recognize:

• The gift of a smile to someone who may or may not realize they needed it.
• The gift of always looking over your shoulder to see if someone needs the door held open for them.
• Or even the gift of seeing when a friend needs to go out to the Martini Room for a few laughs.
• A spiritual gift lays within each and everyone of you. Whether you are shaping the future of this church, or sharing a thought with a group of guys on a Wednesday night.
• A gift lies within each of us, some of you may be using it right now and not even realize it. Can you feel it?
