Manifest | Part 3: The Gifts of the Spirit

In Week 3 of the Manifest series, Pastor Hazen Stevens explores the gifts of the Holy Spirit through the image of a symphony. The gifts are not isolated tools to control or perform with—they are expressions of one Spirit working together in harmony. The Holy Spirit is the Conductor, leading each believer to play their unique part for the glory of Jesus and the strengthening of His Church.

This message unpacks revelatory gifts, demonstration gifts, and practical gifts, while emphasizing that spiritual gifts flow from relationship, not mechanics. The Spirit’s power is never about self-promotion, but about edification, witness, and faithful participation in what God is already doing.

Key Scriptures:
1 Corinthians 12:4–11, Romans 12:6–8, Hebrews 2:3–4, John 5:19, Matthew 8:8–10, Mark 5:27–30, Acts 28:8–9

Main Points:

1. The gifts of the Spirit are diverse expressions of one Spirit

2. The Holy Spirit is a Person—not a force to manipulate

3. Spiritual gifts are meant to build up the Church and reveal Jesus

4. Faith positions us to respond to what God is already doing

5. Every believer has a part to play in God’s symphony

6. The gifts flow through surrender, sensitivity, and obedience—not striving
