In this 18-session video study on the spiritual gifts, Sam Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading understandings of the miraculous gifts of the Spirit and confronts the tendency to downplay their importance for Christian living and ministry. He unpacks the glorious truth that God desires to deepen the manifestation of his power through us in ever more demonstrative and tangible ways and how spiritual gifts, both the more miraculous and the somewhat mundane, are given to encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ.
Understanding Spiritual Gifts Video Study addresses common questions about the gifts and provides practical training for using and exercising the gifts in ministry. It is perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of the gifts for today.
