Supernatural Power for Life and Ministry -- Sam Storms -- Understanding Spiritual Gifts, Session 1

Many Christians are confused about spiritual gifts. Some people aren’t sure what to do with bizarre texts, while other downplay spiritual gifts altogether.

The fact is that spiritual gifts are mentioned, described, regulated, or portrayed 155 times in the New Testament. Plus, there are at least 65 verses that describe signs, miracles, or wonders in operation. Spiritual gifts are not at the periphery of the New Testament, and that means we need to understand them.
