Crave Different: Spiritual Gifts- Wisdom and Knowledge | March 08, 2026

Pastor Andy Cass Spiritual gifts often begin in seed form. The question is not only whether you see them, but whether you recognize where they come from. In this message, we explore the Word of Wisdom and the Word of Knowledge—two supernatural gifts of the Spirit that reveal what cannot be naturally known and guide us toward the right action at the right time. Through the life of Jesus and examples throughout Scripture, we see that these gifts are not talents to impress people but Kingdom tools used to build, correct, encourage, and transform lives. TEXT: 1 Corinthians 12:1; 1 Corinthians 12:8; James 1:5; 2 Timothy 4:2; Proverbs 3:12 John 8:1–11; John 4:16–19; 1 Kings 3:16–28; 2 Kings 5:20–27 NOTES: Five Guiding Principles: Word of Wisdom and Word of Knowledge Spiritual gifts go beyond personality, talent, and natural ability. 1. The words of wisdom and knowledge go beyond the surface. 2. They are effective Kingdom tools. 3. They are used for encouragement and correction of the believer 4. Are you open and willing? A Vessel or a recipient? "Most of you have been a recipient of God’s gifts- however we missed giving credit to where it truly came from, God." The fruit of wisdom is transformation. The fruit of knowldedge is clarity and transformation.
