 “All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as He wills. For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.” (1 Corinthians 12:11-12)

Paul reminds the Corinthian congregation that the church is the Body of Christ and cannot be reduced to human committee! Ultimately, God is in control apportioning gifts, both natural and super-natural, through the person and work of the Holy Spirit. The individual Christian is challenged to obediently seek and then exercise their God-given skills, talents and abilities as means of serving the church in its mission.
