The church that meets a person's specific need when it occurs will have the best chance of reaching that person for Christ. There are two kinds of needs: felt needs and real needs. Sometimes, felt needs are not real needs, or the real needs are not felt by a person. Sometimes, in meeting a person's needs, the church must point out the real need in the person's life so that it becomes a felt need. Other times, the felt needs must be met first in order to discover the real need. This means the church must meet both felt and real needs. How can this best be done? By teaching about the Team Ministry Spiritual Gifts so that everyone can discover their spiritual gifts and use their gifts to reach the needs of non-believers in the community.
When a person comes to Christ, there are often many other needs to meet. The team at your church can come to the rescue, meeting those other needs through the spiritual gifts God gave for that purpose.
Paul explains this in Ephesians 4:16, "From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." A healthy church grows (increases in numbers by reaching people for Christ) and builds itself up (ministers to the needs within its own body). Here is how each of the Team Ministry Spiritual Gifts correlate to needs in a person's life...
People have an inner need to serve others, investing their lives in the lives of others. As the body of Christ uses all the spiritual gifts to meet all of the needs, mature Christians are developed. When you add all the met needs and the active spiritual gifts together, you get lasting growth. God gave us spiritual gifts to serve Him through doing the work of the ministry – meeting needs, reaching people and growing the church, preparing the Bride of Christ for His return. Are you using your gifts?
