We concluded our BUILD series which provided us an overview of the Holy Spirit. This week we discovered the 9 spiritual gifts explained in 1 Corinthians 12. The gifts of the Spirit can be organized into three groups: KNOW (word of wisdom, word of knowledge, and discernment); SAY (prophecy, tongues, and interpretation of tongues); and DO (miracles, healing, and faith). God has created each person in a way that the gift He has given matches with the natural giftings He has created in them. Using the gift cards provided in the gift box your child designed this week in GrowKids or from the list above discuss the following:
• Identify specific natural characteristics in each other that match with the gifts of the Spirit.
– Ex. Are they perceptive/sensitive to others’ feelings?; Are they bold in sharing their faith or opinions?; Are they quick to see a need and help?
• Affirm these characteristics in each other and talk about ways those characteristics can be seen as spiritual gifts.
• Identify a way that each person in the family can express their spiritual gift this week.
– Ex. Praying for someone, witnessing, showing compassion.
