Gifts That Build the Church

Your church has a hand problem — and probably doesn't know it. Most spiritual-gifts teaching narrows to one or two visible, celebrated gifts, while the rest of the body — service, mercy, teaching, discernment, administration — goes quietly unrecognized. The Gifts That Build the Church is a twelve-session study of the full New Testament teaching on spiritual gifts, built to restore the whole body to view. Inside, you'll find: A complete study of 1 Corinthians 12–14, Romans 12:6–8, and Ephesians 4:11–13 Full chapters on prophecy, teaching, service, healing, discernment, and leadership — each with Greek word studies, historical context, and honest guardrails A careful chapter on healing prayer that never substitutes for medical care and never blames the unhealed for insufficient faith A direct chapter on how gifts become sources of envy, contempt, and favoritism — and how to repair it Twelve full small-group discussion sessions with leader's notes A closing gift-mapping exercise to help your whole congregation see itself clearly This is not a book that ranks gifts or tells you which one matters most. It's a book that helps a church actually function like the body Scripture describes — every part necessary, none of them optional. Ideal for small groups, adult Sunday school, and church-wide teaching series.
