Pastor Jack draws from 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 to teach on the beauty of spiritual gifts distributed by the triune God. Using a touching illustration of his grandson delighting in distributing Christmas gifts, he emphasizes that believers should appreciate the variety of gifts-charismata from the Spirit, ministries from Jesus, and operations from the Father-without allowing differences to create division. He calls the church to discover God’s creative purpose in them, submit to the body of Christ, and joyfully distribute the gifts of the Spirit.
