Using Your Gifts to Build the Church You don’t have to be perfect before you start using your gifts. Growth happens through practice. Paul encouraged Timothy not to neglect his gift but to keep fanning it into flame. That’s a good word for us too. If you have the gift of teaching, your first lesson might feel awkward—but that’s how we grow.
