Understanding Spiritual Gifts Video Study
Overview
What are spiritual gifts?
Author and pastor Sam Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ.
In this 18 session video study on the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading interpretations that abound and confronts the tendency to downplay the urgency of spiritual gifts for Christian living and ministry. He explains how spiritual gifts, both the more miraculous and the somewhat mundane, are given to build up the body of Christ. God has graciously provided these “manifestations of the Spirit” so that believers might encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ.
Storms unpacks the glorious truth that there is a supernatural and divine energy or power that fills and indwells the body and soul of every born-again believer. God does not call upon us to speculate about the nature of this power or to embrace it as a mere idea. His desire is that we avail ourselves of it to partner with him in his purposes on the earth. His desire is that we cry out to him that he might intensify, expand, increase, and deepen the manifestation of this power through us in ever more demonstrative and tangible ways in our lives.
Understanding Spiritual Gifts addresses common questions about the gifts and provides practical training for using and exercising the gifts in ministry. It is perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of the gifts for today.

Excellent overview of the subject matter on Spiritual Gifts. I used this material on my seminary dissertation. However, I don't see a study guide or workbook, which could be helpful absorbing the volume of material. Otherwise, excellent resource!

Just finished the first session... great content... solid as a rock, Sam Storms. Just disappointed that the video controls provided by Logos are so lacking. No ability to play at a faster (or slower speed) which is now standard given the pace of our lives. Also, no easy 15 seconds back or forward controls (so helpful!). Also, the control for play and pause is so small, which makes it difficult to start and stop easily while taking notes... which brings up another sad reality... no subtitles so helpful given different speaking styles, pronunciation, etc., not to mention helpful, again, when taking notes. So it's great that you major in the majors but it sometimes leaves the little things of the program so wanting... that is, things we use everyday! So great content...a solid 5; but only 1.5 out of 5 for the video player... Logos, you guys can do so much better!

Any idea if this is the same content as the book? Or is it a separate work and not just a different format?
