Some Christians delight in the subject of spiritual gifts, while others get nervous. Nobody wants to be weird, but nobody wants to miss out on what God has in mind for his church either. The apostle Paul wrote, “Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed” (1 Cor. 12:1). This nine-day reading plan is a “tour” of the nine gifts he listed later in that chapter. Each day gives a brief definition, an example from the early (first-century) church, and then a second example from here and now in our time.

Learning and applying these truths will bring new life to your prayers and a deeper love for the Word of God. All Scripture quotations are from the Authorized Version.

This 14 day reading plan uses the Every Man's Bible to help us become rooted in God's wisdom and to live a life of worship to Him.
