Spiritual Gifts


God has given each Christian two vitally important gifts.

First is the gift of faith in Jesus Christ, his work of redemption, and thus forgiveness of sin.

Second is the gift of one or more special abilities, which are used for the purpose of unifying the body of Christ and for the growth of God's Kingdom. These abilities are called spiritual gifts and they are received through our baptism.

Like other presents, it is impossible to fully appreciate and make use of our spiritual gifts until they have been opened.  The ELCA has provided a Spiritual Gifts Self-Assessment website which will help begin to open our spiritual gifts by guiding you through some activities and questions. 

If you are looking for ways to share your gifts at Saint Matthew's, please check out our Time and Talents sheet.  Fill it out, share it with our office, and share your gifts with our congregation!
