The Body Needs You:  The Gifts Each One Brings
1 Corinthians 12:27-31

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

The Best Gifts
What is the best gift?
Some Qualify Gifts based on certain criteria (Chapter 14 says that prophecy is greater than Tongues, for instance)
The Best Gift is the Gift in which God chooses to use you!

A More Excellent Way
In the midst of our giftings, our diversity, our uniqueness, the greatest, most effective way for our gifts to be utilized is in an atmosphere of love.
