Pastor Wil Franco

1. What did you learn in the sermon? How do you plan on stewarding what you learned for the glory of God and the good of your neighbor?

2. According to Peter, there is no such thing as a gift-less believer, since each has received a gift. Why is that such an important reality for us as believers to remember?

3. In 1 Peter 4:10a, the root word for the word gift (charisma) is the word grace (charis). Why is it crucial for us to remember that our spiritual gifts flow from and should point back to THE gift of grace?

4. In 1 Peter 4:10b, we learn that our spiritual gifts were given for the purpose of serving one another. What happens when we use our spiritual gifts to meet our needs and not the needs of others?

5. In 1 Peter 4:10c, Peter states that we use our gifts to serve others because we are stewards of God’s varied (multi-colored, multi-faceted) grace. Why do you think Peter makes this connection between the use of our spiritual gifts and God’s gracious gift of salvation?
