Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

New Members and Spiritual Gifts

We're beginning another round of New Members' Classes here at CtK this Sunday. As part of the preparation for leading the class, I'm reviewing some materials and trying to get ready to answer questions, etc.
We ask people who are considering making a commitment to follow Jesus (ie live as a disciple) within this community of faith to tell us about their spiritual gifts. The thing is - a lot of folks have no real idea what their spiritual gifts are - or what we even mean by spiritual gifts.
If you are one such person: panic not! Here's a link to a website that will help you figure out how God has gifted you for ministry in everyday ways in everyday life.
Let me know what you learn!
