  • You were SHAPED for Serving God

    "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10

  • Spiritual Gifts

  • This is not a test, so there are no wrong answers. The Spiritual Gifts Survey consists of a number of statements. Some items reflect concrete actions, other items are descriptive traits, and still others are statements of belief.

    Select the one response you feel best characterizes yourself.
    Do not spend too much time on any one item. Remember, it is not a test. Usually your immediate response is best.
    Please give an answer for each item. Do not skip any items.
    Do not ask others how they are answering or how they think you should answer.
    Your response choices are:
    5—Highly characteristic of me/definitely true for me

    4—Most of the time this would describe me/be true for me

    3—Frequently characteristic of me/true for me–about 50 percent of the time

    2—Occasionally characteristic of me/true for me–about 25 percent of the time

    1—Not at all characteristic of me/definitely untrue for me

  • Heartbeat

  • The Bible uses the term “heart” to describe the bundle of desires, hopes, interests, ambitions, dreams, and affections you have. Your heart represents the source of all your motivations—what you love to do and what you care about most. Even today we still use the word in this way when we say, “I love you with all my heart.”

    The Bible says, “As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the person.” Your heart reveals the real you—what you truly are, not what others think you are or what circumstances force you to be. Your heart determines why you say the things you do, why you feel the way you do, and why you act the way you do.

    In the same way, God has given each of us a unique emotional “heartbeat” that races when we think about the subjects, activities, or circumstances that interest us. We instinctively care about some things and not about others. These are clues as to where you should be serving.

    (The Purpose Driven Life, By Rick Warren)
