Just got home froom church and had to put my notes out there. The title of the sermon was "The Answer is in your gift, part 1."
(These are just the basic notes. I can get more to you if you want it. I can even get a CD to you. Just email me .)
Categories of Gifts:
1. Ministry gifts
2. Serving gifts
3. Helps gifts
Greek word for "gift" = charisma
Charisma - the favor one receives without merit of his/her own, it is divine grace.
The word "calling" is the divine invitation to use your gift.
3 levels of maturity (1 John 2:12,13)
1. Little children
2. Young men/women
3. Fathers/mothers
1. You do not decide who you are, you discover who you are.
2. You will only discover your gift with a faithful prayer life.
3. You will only discover your gift with a faithful study life.
4. There are some things that must die for you to see your gift. (In other words, you have to let go of some things that are blocking your way.)
5. The gift will be used on you first.
6. Your gift must be submitted to someone of higher rank and authority.
7. Your gift needs maintenance.
8. You must be mentoring someone else in your gift. (Reproduce yourself)
9. There are no shortcuts to this. You cannot know what God has for you (your gift) without first knowing God and who He is.
Read 1 Samuel 13:19-22 (Not everyone is armed for warfare)
Romans 11:29
2 Kings 6:1-7
1 John 2:12,13

Hello Brian,
My name is Bryan Splittorff, and I believe that we are related (obviously with the same last name as Splittorff). My father was Charles Wilburn Splittorff and my grandfather was William Splittorff. I think my grandfather had siblings that branch off in your direction. My family moved to Arizona before I was born in 1971. I just thought I would say hi since we practically have the same name and we both love the Lord. Strangely enough, about 3 years ago I wrote a screen play, but I never did anything with it.
If you want you can reply back to my email address, and we can figure out how the family tree goes.
