Every believer has at least one spiritual gift according to I Corinthians 12:7 (NLT), 'A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.' Although we all have a spiritual gift, we often do not know exactly what that gift is or how it should be used. Knowing what brings your heart joy is a good first step to discovering your spiritual gift. What your natural reaction to a situation will offer insight as well to what gifts you possess. For instance, a person with the gift of exhortation will immediately begin to encourage someone facing an obstacle. Another tool to aide you is a spiritual gifts assessment available online. Finally, exercising what you believe to be your gift is also an important determining factor of whether you posses a certain gift.

When it comes to using your gifts, it doesn't really matter whether it's a natural talent or a supernatural gift. The way you find your spiritual gift is trial and error. We need to learn to serve outside of our area of gifting. Sometimes when something bothers you, maybe God's showing you so that you can be the one to fix it.

This clip is excerpted from the sermon 'I Am Gifted,' the tenth part of our sermon series Ephesians: Who Do You Think You Are? It was preached by Pastor Mark Driscoll out of Ephesians 4:1--16 at Mars Hill Downtown Bellevue and released on March 13.
