Spiritual Gifts // June/July 2026
Sunday 19 July To end our series on the spiritual gifts, Jonah looks at love gifts. Love gifts manifest the love of God in practical ways. They include martydom, celibacy, administration, helps/service, giving and mercy. Jonah concludes by sharing a story of a priest in 17th century Colombia which shows the church alive in its gifting and operating in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Sunday 12 July In the fourth part of our Gifts of the Spirit series, Becky Callaghan explores the 'power gifts', encouraging us to eagerly pursue the Holy Spirit's empowering presence as God works through ordinary people to demonstrate His Kingdom through these gifts. Becky challenges us to fan into flame the gifts God has entrusted to us, using them to build up the church and point people to Jesus.
Sunday 5 July Dan explains how we can first discover our gifts, and then not bury them out of fear or comparison but share God’s joy as we become activated in them. Then he explores the purpose of the six word gifts, how we might recognise them in ourselves, and begin to use them to play our part in building up the Body of Christ.
Sunday 28 June Dan continues our series by considering Paul’s challenge to follow the way of love as we eagerly desire the spiritual gifts. When we use our gifts to serve one another and not ourselves, God builds us into a community that embody his love to a hurting, but increasingly curious and hungry, world around us.
Sunday 21 June Jonah begins our new series on the gifts of the spirit. In this introductory talk, Jonah points to 4 different viewpoints we may be inhabiting in our specific community. He then outlines a basic understanding of the spiritual gifts and finally lands by focusing upon Philippians 2. Jonah concludes that Jesus displays for us what it looks like to be radically human, empowered by the Spirit and operating in our unique gifts.
