Charisma – SERVICE and MERCY
The explosive growth of the Church didn’t happen just because of social innovation. Its growth was miraculous—divine action through human instruments. Deposited in each follower of Jesus are spiritual gifts that build up the Church and that are for the common good. Do you know how you’ve been gifted? And are you courageous enough to live them out?
In this week’s podcast, Missy talks about the spiritual gifts of service and mercy.
Service (Romans 12:7) is the spiritual capacity to reveal God’s servant heart by unselfishly helping others through very practical means.
Mercy (Romans 12:8) is the spiritual capacity to display God’s compassion by both feeling empathy for those in need and manifesting this empathy in a beneficial way toward those who are suffering or afflicted.
