Hillside Church Messages

This message wraps up our series Gifted discovering spiritual gifts. This particular message highlights the spiritual gifts that draw a sense of awe and wonder in our life with the Holy Spirit. They include: prophecy, knowledge, healing, miracles, faith, tongues, and interpretation of tongues. We hope it's a blessing to you. 

This sermon we look at four communicative spiritual gifts: teaching, encouragement, evangelism, and wisdom. 

On Pentecost Sunday we celebrate the Holy Spirit’s outpouring in Acts 2—the dramatic birth of the church as believers are filled, speak in other languages, and 3,000 respond. This sermon introduces a new series, "Gifted," exploring spiritual gifts given by the Holy Spirit for the common good of the church and the world.

The pastor explains that gifts come from the Spirit, should be desired and practiced, and are meant to serve others—bringing vibrancy to faith and advancing the kingdom. Listeners are invited to discover and use their gifts "for the sake of the world."
