I attend and am active in one church but go to a weekly Bible study at another church. Why? Because one of my best friends (Dave) leads the study at the other church. Our pastor, his wife, my wife, and I lead the Young Adult Bible study at our church. During our vacation Bible school this summer, my pastor taught about the spiritual gifts. Pastor Jeff gave us a spiritual gifts test. Mine showed that I have the gifts of knowledge and teaching.
In the past, I have been a Sunday school teacher, worship leader (including writing our services when we were without a pastor) and on one occasion I delivered the message. A couple of years ago, I stepped down from teaching due to my mother developing dementia. She went to live with our Lord over a year ago but I never returned to teaching. Satan kept reminding me about how I needed the free time. Pastor Jeff's test reminded me that I needed to return to doing God's work through teaching. And, in typical God fashion, that leads me to this book.
