Course Description

What are spiritual gifts?

Pastor and author Sam Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ.

In this online course on the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading understandings of the miraculous gifts of the Spirit and confronts the tendency to downplay their importance for Christian living and ministry. He unpacks the glorious truth that God desires to deepen the manifestation of his power through us in ever more demonstrative and tangible ways and how spiritual gifts, both the more miraculous and the somewhat mundane, are given to encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ.

The Understanding Spiritual Gifts online course addresses common questions about the gifts and provides practical training for using and exercising the gifts in ministry. It is perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of the gifts for today.

By completing this course, you’ll gain:

  • A general understanding of the spiritual gifts available to Christians
  • Insight into how the spiritual gifts were used in biblical times and today
  • Practical knowledge of how to use and grow your spiritual gifts in the body of the church
  • Confidence in your growing knowledge through personalized review sessions and unit assessments
