Use your Spiritual Gift

Take the Spiritual Gifts Inventory at the button above. (If you would like a printed copy, it is available in the church office M-Th 9:00-4:00. Or email the church office to get a copy mailed to you.) It will be exciting to see how God will you use for His Glory at First Baptist Dawsonville! God invites us to "give our spiritual gifts away" through service.

What the Bible Says about Spiritual Gifts

(Paul's basic description of a spiritual gift can be found in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11):

  • Each believer is given at least one gift.
    (1 Corinthians 12:7)

  • The Holy Spirit determines who receives which gifts.
    (1 Corinthians 12:11)

  • Each gift is equally valuable. (1 Corinthians 12:21-26)

  • We are to use our gifts to serve others for the benefit of the body. (Romans 12:6-8; Ephesians 4:12)

  • We are commanded to use our gifts. (1 Peter 4:10)

  • Exercising our gifts will help us develop spiritual maturity. (Ephesians 4:13)

Pray for Revelation

God will reveal our gifts through His Holy Spirit. Believers should pray and study what God says about gifts in His Word. We should also remember God uses other believers to affirm our gift. Sometimes God may also use spiritual gift assessment tools to reveal His gifts.

Match Gifts with Ministry Opportunities

Once gifts are discovered, the next step is to take action on that discovery. You will be empowered to match your gifts up with ministry opportunities at First Baptist Dawsonville and join us to further His Kingdom.
