In Reformed theology the belief in miracles is based on the conviction that God sovereignly and freely controls His world. However, when it comes to miracle-working and tongue-talking, well-meaning Christians have disagreed, and continue to disagree, on whether or not God still gives these gifts today. While there is universal agreement behind their purpose (i.e. to prove that the gospel was true and that the apostles were truly God’s messengers), disagreements abound today concerning their relevance. So, what does the Bible say about it?
In this sermon series, Pastor Ronald H. Gann seeks to depose the mysteries, as well as expose the controversies and explore the purpose, behind each of the twenty-four spiritual gifts.

The Spiritual Gifts
01 - Giving & Hospitality
July 21, 2013 • Pastor Ronald H. Gann
Inasmuch as the spiritual gifts are graces from God meant for the edification of the Church, they have also been, and continue to be, the source of controversy. Sadly, far too many churches stand divided over the practice and purpose of the spiritual gifts. In addition to theological confusion, some Christians admit to being uninformed, if not insecure, about their own God-given talents. As a result, they find it challenging to know where and how to plug-in to their local assembly. In this sermon series, Pastor Ronald H. Gann seeks to depose the mysteries, as well as expose the controversies and explore the purpose, behind each of the twenty-four spiritual gifts.
02 - Leadership & Administration
July 28, 2013 • Pastor Ronald H. Gann
The success of the local church and all its various ministries rises and falls with its leadership and administration and those whom God has gifted. The more skillful, humble, and effective the leadership and the more organized the administration the better the organization will run and the more potential it will have for growth. In this sermon series, Pastor Ronald H. Gann seeks to depose the mysteries, as well as expose the controversies and explore the purpose, behind each of the twenty-four spiritual gifts.
03 - Wisdom & Knowledge
August 4, 2013 • Pastor Ronald H. Gann
God has given all Christians spiritual gifts so that we can learn to submit ourselves and our resources to the good the church. That is to say, the Holy Spirit has not gifted believers for the purposes of self-realization, self-actualization, or self-expression. Rather, He’s gifted each believer, without exception and without distinction, for the common good of the church, both local and universal. And two of the more important but often underrated gifts are wisdom and knowledge. But what distinguishes these gifts from each other? In this sermon series, Pastor Ronald H. Gann seeks to depose the mysteries, as well as expose the controversies and explore the purpose, behind each of the twenty-four spiritual gifts.
