Gave Gifts Unto Men is a spiritual gifts Bible study I wrote for ladies at my church. If anyone is interested in the Greek, in cross-references, in study questions, and application questions, feel free to download. I used Blue Letter Bible a lot for my research. One of my favorite parts is that we looked at New Testament characters who may have exercised their gifts, how others responded to the use of the gifts, and how the gifts were meant to contribute together to the edification of the whole Body.
A question to consider:
What happens when the church uses their gifts? What do spiritual gifts in action prevent/correct?
Also head over to the Elect Exiles series on spiritual gifts, and comment over there! Blogs and Bible studies, church and learning are conversation!

Lisa, thanks for making that available for download (or posting the link).
Also, thanks for taking part in our blog, and telling your friends. But, I think we should be telling our friends to go read your stuff . . .
Thanks. I like the format at Elect Exiles for online. It’s more explanatory.
When I did this study, I learned so much about the church. It wasn’t my intention, but a lot of the ladies who attended got frustrated. The study intended to give a vision for how God planned to use the spiritual gifts, so that as individuals we would exercise ours, facilitate others, and respond well to others.

You have got some great stuff on your blog Lisa, I’ll be checking out your Bible study soon, I hope my posts on spiritual gifts have been helpful!
Yes, I like them, Drew. Sent one to my brother in high school. Before I read your posts our church had a ministry fair and did a quick overview of spiritual gifts. I asked my brother how he’d used his spiritual gifts in the past seven days. He told me he hadn’t finished his survey yet. Fortunately, he seemed to know already it was a lame excuse. What bothered me is that the entire youth section – and yes, we have a “section” in our sanctuary felt like they didn’t need to investigate any of the ministries of our church. They think that they have to sit in church but that none of the message or music is for them. I’m praying about how God might want me to help.
