Pastor D provides insight and perspective regarding the gifts of the Body of Christ. What is a gift? Gifts are simply an endowment from God bestowed on an individual for the sole purpose of building of His church. Together, the Body of Christ must use these gifts working to bring Glory to God. We, the Body of Christ are knitted together, are of equal importance and are indispensable to the whole. Failing to operate within your Gift hampers the Body, and places limitations to the Body's ability to God all of the glory. During our Walk, we need to pray on our Gifts, and commit to using them to perform our roles within the Body of Christ. Praise God.
