In this conversation, Caleb and Dr. Vern Poythress (PhD, Harvard; DTh, Stellenbosch) professor of New Testament, biblical interpretation, and systematic theology at Westminster Theological Seminary discuss the nature and purpose of spiritual gifts as outlined in the Bible. They emphasize their role in building up the church and serving others. Poythress explores the definitions of spiritual gifts, their biblical foundations, the role of the Trinity in their distribution, and the importance of understanding the Holy Spirit's work in believers' lives. The conversation also touches on the desire for spiritual gifts, the function of gifts in the life of a believer, and the need for a holistic understanding of the Christian faith.Resources:
