In this talk, Tim Keller tries to elucidate several issues concerning spiritual gifts. First, we don’t choose which gifts we have; they are given by God. Secondly, the church body plays a role (but does not have the final say) in confirming a person’s gifts. Thirdly, we must be careful to never mistake our talents for spiritual fruit. Finally, Tim discusses the three elements to discerning a call: affinity, ability, and opportunity.

Additional scriptural references made in this sermon are: Ephesians 2:10; Colossians 2:15; 1 Timothy 3:1; 1 Corinthians 13:1-2; Matthew 10:1-4; Luke 10:41-42.
