Receiving The Spirit's Gifts - By The Power Of The Holy Spirit Series (Grant Watts)

In the fourth message of our series, Grant explored Receiving the Spirit’s Gifts, distinguishing between "fruit" (our character) and "gifts" (our capacity for service). He likened spiritual gifts to specialised "power tools" provided by God for the "common good" of the church, rather than for personal status or pride. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, Grant emphasised that every believer is given at least one gift, ranging from practical administration to supernatural abilities like healing and discernment. He shared a personal account of his own gift of discernment, encouraging the congregation to move past fear and remain obedient to how God has uniquely wired them. The message concluded with a call to be both "mangoes" (bearing healthy fruit) and active participants in the Spirit’s power.
