Pastor Chad concludes his exegesis on the spiritual gifts listed in Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12. He teaches there are 9 remaining spiritual gifts that Christians can have today and should seek to fully utilize in order to make their local church the most beautiful bride/body of Christ as possible. He ends the sermon by showing how specific spiritual gifts are needed to fill the needs of current ministries at TBC. He focuses on Romans 12:4-8 and shows how the list of 7 spiritual gifts in Romans 12 had already dropped the mention of most of the spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12 (tongues, knowledge, and the Apostolic gifts of miraculous powers and healing). This is further evidence that certain gifts would cease as Paul predicted in 1 Cor. 13:8-10 would occur as the the early church became more mature. Thus, besides prophecy, all the gifts mentioned in Romans 12 are still active and to be practiced by Biblical churches today. (Interesting to note that Paul wrote the letter of Romans a year or two AFTER the book of 1 Corinthians even though it appears earlier in the order of New Testament books.
