Charisma – EXHORTATION & SHEPHERDING
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, Daniel talks about the spiritual gifts of shepherding and exhortation.
Shepherding (Ephesians 4:11) is the spiritual capacity to demonstrate God’s care by exercising concern for members of a group so as to encourage them in their growth in Christ.
Exhortation (Romans 12:8)is the spiritual capacity to communicate God’s zeal by encouraging others to action through applying truth to their lives.
