In his first church, the pastor sat with a woman in her apartment when her face changed, a black stare came over her, and a man's voice spoke from her mouth.

Snow sets the tone for the morning. The host starts casually, talking about Mike's long plowing work, the drag of shoveling, and the shared hope that spring shows up soon after the storm. Then the Bible study settles in. Working through 1 Corinthians 12, he treats spiritual gifts as real work of the Holy Spirit, given by God for ministry instead of personal attention. He keeps the lesson close to everyday life. When he talks about wisdom, he turns to Solomon and the two mothers, using that story to show how God can open a path when ordinary judgment runs out. The point stays simple. When listeners are stumped, they can ask God for a word of wisdom instead of pretending they can figure out everything alone. Knowledge gets the same grounded treatment. The host remembers Catherine Coleman services in Youngstown, Ohio, and describes healings being called out in the balcony or in another corner of the room. He does not smooth over the supernatural part. In his telling, a word of knowledge is God giving a small piece of insight that human awareness could not have reached. The language stays plain and warm. He says God gives these gifts sovereignly, as needed, while still urging people to stay open and alert. The thread keeps coming back around: gifts are not decorations for ego, and they are not a reason to blow a trumpet or horn before the church. They are for glory. By the closing prayer, the request is direct: Holy Spirit, help each person identify the gift they have and use it for God's praise. The sendoff keeps that neighborly feel. Go out, use your gifts, and have fun playing in the snow.
