Discover Your GOD Given Gifts

Romans 12:6-8 introduces us to the gifts that God planted in us at conception. Have you ever asked yourself, "What is my place in the body of Christ? Or "How do I find my place in God's family?" This study will assist you in finding answers to those questions and start you on your understanding of your "fit" in God's great plan. Every believer will find themselves identified in one of the gifts outlined in these 3 verses. These are not "gifts" that we ask for; they are gifts placed in us by God and that He expects us to identify and cultivate! Learn how to do just that!

(Each of the above seminars is adaptable to a variety of teaching settings but most need at least 3 or 4 one hour sessions to develop an adequate basis of understanding.)
