Spiritual Gifts: Beyond the Spectacular

What if spiritual gifts were never meant to be isolated moments of power—but expressions of a living, Spirit-formed community? In this Season 3 premiere, Bruce Ritter and Charles Russell establish a foundational framework for understanding spiritual gifts within the life of the church. Moving beyond fascination with the spectacular, they explore the incarnational nature of gifts, the Trinity’s model of unity in diversity, the necessity of interdependence within the body of Christ, and the central role of sincere love in all ministry. This episode sets the tone for the entire season, calling leaders and believers alike to pursue spiritual vitality shaped by Christ’s character, grounded in Scripture, and oriented toward mission in light of Christ’s return.
