Spiritual Gifts Module
The GBG module is a complete gift-based ministry resource built from Scripture. Each of the eighteen spiritual gifts is examined through its original Greek text, Biblical examples, and practical application for the local church. Whether you are a Pastor preparing to teach or a believer discovering your gifts for the first time, GBG gives you the tools to understand how God has equipped His Church.
Speaking Gifts
Identified in Ephesians 4:11 — given to those who communicate God’s Word to the Church and the world.
Ephesians 4:11 (KJV) – And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
The Gift of Apostle
A delegate sent by God — chosen, commissioned, and authorized to represent Christ and establish His Church.
The Gift of Prophet
One who speaks the very words of God beforehand — proclaimer, revelator, and oracle of divine truth.
The Gift of Evangelist
The glad messenger — one who announces the good news of Jesus Christ with urgency and clarity.
The Gift of Pastor / Teacher
A dual office — the shepherd who feeds, guards, and leads the flock through the ministry of God’s Word.
Sign Gifts
Identified in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 — supernatural demonstrations of God’s power given to authenticate the Gospel.
1 Corinthians 12:8-10 (KJV) – For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
The Gift of Healing
A completed act of restoration — God working through a believer to cure, restore, and make whole.
The Gift of Miracles
Inherent power working from within — God intervening supernaturally through a yielded believer.
The Gift of Tongues
A known human language supernaturally spoken — a sign to unbelievers and a vehicle for the Gospel.

The supernatural ability to translate and explain a tongue spoken in the assembly so the whole church is edified.
Service Gifts
Identified in Romans 12:6-8 (Service, Teaching, Exhortation, Giving, and Mercy), 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 (Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, and Discernment), and 1 Corinthians 12:28 (Administration) — motivational gifts that drive believers to serve, support, and sustain the Body of Christ.
Romans 12:6-8 (KJV) – Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
