1 Corinthians 12:1-11 | Think of how many accounts, or devices, you’ve “activated.” Even before the prompt to activate the account, the account has already been created. But you don’t have access to its full potential until the final activation is complete. The same is true for us as we live into our spiritual gifts. Often, the church has used language of “spiritual gifts” to distinguish between various things we “do” as a part of the body of Christ. But at the core, spiritual gifts are less about what we do and more about who we are as we live into the Spirit, who activates these gifts within us for the sake of the common good. So as we continue into the season of Epiphany, join us for worship as we reaffirm our willingness for the Spirit to activate something within us, and as we are sent forth to live as a part of God’s mission in the world to reveal Christ’s light.
