This is an introduction message to spiritual gifts. We will talk about the difference between the spiritual gifts listed in Romans 12, the manifestations of the Spirit when using gifts as listed in 1st Corinthians, and the spiritual offices listed in Ephesians. We will discuss why God gives us such gifts and we will prepare ourselves to begin to look at each gift individually as we progress through this mini series.

They will hate Him through us
Bible Text: John 15:18- 16:4, 2 Corinthians 5:20, 1 Corinthians 1:18, 2 Timothy 3:12, 2 Thessalonians 3:1-6 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Gospel of John | Just as Jesus taught us that He will love the world through His disciples, so the opposite is true. The world will hate Jesus through His disciples. Jesus tells us this, not to discourage us, but to help us affirm that we are on the right path that God has set out for us. We may share in the suffering of Jesus Christ, but we also get to inherit His glory, which surpasses any momentary afflictions that this world may offer!
