We Are Members, Uniquely Gifted pt. 3 / 1 Corinthians 12:27-13:3

1 Corinthians 12:27-13:3 Over the last few studies, we have learned how God has uniquely gifted every believer and how he uses that gifting in unison with our local church to glorify his name. In this sermon we talk about the special ingredient that gives our gifting purpose - charity. With it, our ministry will be mature - without it, everything becomes vain.

We Are Members, Uniquely Gifted pt. 2 / 1 Corinthians 12:12-26

1 Corinthians 12:12-26 The Apostle Paul has been addressing the church in Corinth about “spiritual gifts” - the unique traits God has given to each believer so that they might have an impact on His kingdom. As chapter twelve continues, Paul shares how one’s spiritual gifting should serve into the missional objectives of the local church. We are reminded that each Christian is only as useful as as they are integrated into the body of Christ.

In this sermon we learn how a Christian can discern the differences between false spiritualism and authentic Spirit-led worship. We also take time to define and understand the spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians.
