Pastor Kohl leads us through Pauls discussion of spiritual gifts in Romans 12. Spiritual gifts are an interesting topic in the Christian World today. Pastor Kohl highlights how gifts are for sharing with others. However, gifts can be deceiving. Satan can simulate many of the gifts God uses. Thus we must build our lives on truth, and not the flash in the pan of gifts like speaking in tongues. 

This is a great sermon if you want a balanced understanding of spiritual gifts and particularly the gift of speaking in tongues.
