Main Focus: God's Spirt Gives Gifts 

Book of Ephesians : Spiritual Gifts

(Ephesians 4:1-16)

Anticipate: What's Inside

God designed each of us and gave us a unique combination of gifts. These gifts were chosen by Him and may not always be obvious. When we refer to spiritual gifts these are the parts of our personality God uses to help the church and people grow.

Memory Verse: 

" My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."--John 10:27

In today’s part of the Big Story, after Jesus ascended to heaven, His spirit gave His followers special gifts to use to serve others and spread the good news about Him. God loves us and made each of us special in part by giving good gifts to us as His children.

Its funny to think of ourselves as if we were Pokemons! We are the same, but different. And God gives us different gifts that grow and change. He is working on us to help us all be more like Jesus.
