Utilizing Your Spiritual Gifts

When you become a Christian, the Holy Spirit gives you at least one Spiritual Gift (1 Peter 4:10). We cannot choose our Gifts; God’s Holy Spirit does that for us. A God-given assignment, capacity, and desire to perform a function within the body of Christ with supernatural joy, energy, and effectiveness. (Resource: Spiritual Gifts, A Practical Guide to How God Works Through You by David Francis)

Spiritual Gifts are special attributes given by God’s Spirit to every member of the body of Christ, at conversion, according to God’s grace. Spiritual Gifts indicate God’s call and purpose for a Christian’s life. They are to be used for the common good and edification (building up) of the body of Christ. The Holy Spirit helps disciples in the “work of the ministry” and gives peace in our spirits as we offer our Gifts for Kingdom building here on Earth.

At Watts Chapel we focus on 16 spiritual gifts.

The focus of the Sentinel Security Ministry is to improve the overall operations of the facility and to provide a safe, secure environment for the church’s sanctuary, campus, and activities. To provide a safe environment for the membership and anyone who attends our church to worship and do the will of God. To enhance and increase all security and safety measures as it may pertain to the protection of the church and its activities.

In today’s modern society, although we have faith that God will guide and protect us, we must continue to recognize that we exist within a world that not everyone will always acknowledge His commandments, our Christianity, values, morals, ethics, and devotion to following God’s will and direction. The Sentinel Ministry of Watts Chapel has a presence in all Sunday Services; as well as throughout the week’s activities, i.e. Bible study, rehearsals, and all other activities by requests.
