Giving
The ability God gives to certain believers to contribute their material resources to the ministry of the Lord liberally and cheerfully.
- Mark 12:41-44; Romans 12:8; 2 Corinthians 8:1-7; 9:2-8
Helps
The ability God gives to certain believers to use their talents to assist in facilitating practical needs of others and thereby empower them to develop effectiveness in expressing their own spiritual gifts.
- Mark 15:40-41; Luke 8:2-3; Acts 9:36; Romans 16:1-2
Service
The ability that God gives to certain believers to recognise unmet needs in the church family or in a task related to God's work, and take the initiative to provide practical task-oriented assistance promptly, cheerfully, and without a need for recognition.
People with this gift do not have to be told what to do. They'll walk in a room, and you don't need to ask them, they see a need and begin to do something: taking down tables, moving chairs, cleaning in the kitchen. They want to be helpful. They don't want to be upfront, but seem to have a spiritual antenna to see what needs to be done.
- Acts 6:1-7; Galatians 6:2, 10; Titus 3:14
