God loves to give His people gifts. Like a newlywed couple, He gives many and different kinds of gifts. James tells us, every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights. (James 1:17)
The most significant gift He has ever given us is the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, I am going away and will not leave you orphaned, but will send you another Helper. This He spoke of the Holy Spirit that would be given. This gift impacts us in such a way that it changes everything about us. We become the temple of the Holy Spirit. He takes up residence inside of us. We are possessed by the Spirit of God!
The Spirit then gives us gifts, various and different, as He wills. These gifts are to be used for the glory of God, and empower us to do the work He has called us to do; because, what you do for God is different that what I do. We have different gifts.
Calvary Tucson is a Bible-centered, Bible teaching church open to all who desire a relationship with God. Whether you're a skeptic, a seeker, or a seasoned Christian, we welcome you. As God has revealed Himself to us through His word, our services are centered on the teaching of the Bible. If you don't know Him, we pray you will enter into a relationship with the Living God. If you do know Him, we pray you are encouraged, and your relationship with Him becomes stronger than ever before.
