Discovering Your God-Given Gifts
Have you ever wondered which spiritual gifts you have been most blessed with? Maybe you just
want confirmation of gifts you already suspect you have? Click on the link below to take a
quick 60 question spiritual gifts inventory that will help you discover your
service-oriented gifts. There is a self-scoring function at the end of the inventory.
Remember that regardless of your results, you should seek the Holy Spirit's guidance while
evaluating your gifts. Also much of the validation of your gifts will come from talking with
others, from prayer and from seeking out opportunities to use them. If you'd like more
opportunities to discuss your results, please join us for our follow-up sessions after
services on June 1st and June 8th or contact one of the New Hope small group leaders to see
when they will be reviewing a two-part discussion on spiritual gifts in their meetings.

Sharpen Your Bible Study Skills
Whether we like to admit it or not, when we read the Bible, we always "interpret" what we read. According to The New World Dictionary, the verb “interpret” means: “to explain the meaning of: make understandable.” When we read the Bible, we read it through various filters, which consist of pre-conceived ideas, misconceptions, and even our prejudices. It's not just us. It's all of Christianity. Throughout history, Christians have made erroneous conclusions from what they thought the scriptures had said. For example, people have preached that Bible supported their ideas of racial discrimination, sexual dominance, and slavery. Even today there are many major doctrinal errors, especially in fringe or cultic Christian groups, based on false interpretation or misunderstanding of Scripture.
