All Gifts in Perspective

by | Jun 26, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the opening chapters of 1 Corinthians to lay a comprehensive foundation for understanding spiritual gifts.

Throughout this message, Pastor Jack emphasizes that spiritual gifts are to operate in normalcy, sanity, and love? never in fear or confusion? and that every believer is called to participate in the manifestation of the Spirit.
