Simon Says Week 9-March 8, 2026

Mar 8, 2026    Pastor Chris Johnson

In the final week of this series, we're invited into a powerful truth that transforms how we understand our spiritual lives: every believer has received at least one supernatural gift from the Holy Spirit, with no exceptions. Returning back to 1 Peter 4:7-11, we discover that spiritual gifts aren't optional extras for super-Christians, but God's intentional plan for His power to work through His people. What's particularly striking is the reminder that spiritual gifts are never meant to be lived in isolation or kept private. While our faith should be deeply personal, it was never designed to be private. These gifts are given to be exercised in relationship with others, serving the body of Christ and blessing the world around us. We're called to be good stewards—managers, not owners—of what God has entrusted to us, developing and exercising our gifts rather than squandering them through isolation, refusal to serve, or distorting personal faith into private faith. The challenge before us is clear: what would our communities look like if every believer discovered their spiritual gift and put it into practice today? The transformation would be nothing short of a tidal wave of grace.
