The Variety of Gifts Given

God gives gifts to believers for the benefit of the church. He determines who gets what gifts and the measure of those gifts so that each individual believer will contribute to the ministry of the local church also referred to as the body of Christ. These gifts vary from speaking gifts that include teaching to serving gifts that include helps and showing mercy. Each one is necessary for the overall functioning and spiritual well-being of the church as a whole. This study considers the different gifts and how they function together.
