Text: Revelation 1:1-8

Before we can hear what Revelation says, we need to settle whether we trust the one saying it. Revelation 1:1–8 answers that question with a sweeping portrait of the God who speaks: eternal, all-powerful, faithful, the ruler over every earthly authority, the one who loved us and freed us and is coming again. As we begin this journey through Revelation together, the invitation is to come with open hands — ready to receive whatever God wants to show us, and willing to release whatever would get in the way.

This week we cover the final gifts in our survey: Discernment, Word of Knowledge, Healings, Miracles, Prophecy, and Tongues and Interpretation.

This week we continue our survey of individual spiritual gifts, covering ones that have less overlap with natural talent and may be less familiar: Pastor/Shepherd, Apostle, Artisanship, Intercession, Word of Wisdom, and Faith. These are gifts that don't always fit neatly into church programs or ministry schedules, but they are no less essential — and every one of them is a good gift from God, given to be used for the common good, not hidden away or merely admired.
