Calls To Worship

Gifts

Adapted from 1 Corinthians 12

Leader: “Now concerning spiritual gifts,” brothers and sisters, “there are varieties of gifts,”

People: “But the same Spirit;”

Leader: “And there are varieties of service,”

People: “But the same Lord;”

Leader: “And there are varieties of activities,”

People: “But it is the same God who empowers all of them in everyone.”

Leader: To each person “is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” “All gifts are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as the Spirit wills.” So let us now come to worship the One who gifts each of us to serve and glorify God.

Adapted from 1 Corinthians 12

Leader: “Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.” 

People: “For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.”

Leader: “For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free;”

People:  We “were all given to drink into one Spirit.” Come, Holy Spirit!

All: Let us worship God!
