How do we use the spiritual gifts that involve our words to lovingly build up the body of Christ? Paul compares two spiritual gifts to show us the importance of understanding the purpose of the gifts as we use them.
Which tool you use for a project is important. A tool that is good for one job may not be good for a different job. The task at hand determines what tool fits best. In the same way, God gives us different tools called spiritual gifts to help us build up the body of Christ…
In 1 Corinthians 12 and 13, Paul teaches the Corinthian about how to use the spiritual gifts as tools to love their brothers and sisters. Now in chapter 14, he gives them a practical “how-to” lesson in applying the the things he taught them. For us, it’s easier to understand Paul’s lesson by first seeing…
Temporary things? Or things that last forever? These are the things that help us determine where to keep our main focus. This also applies to how we see our spiritual gifts and what they produce: love.
Love is complex and deep! It can be felt differently and expressed differently in all kinds of situations. So what is the best way to describe love? What does love look like?
Spiritual gifts are an important part in the life of of a Christians. Especially when they are used to deliver the gift of love to those around them.
God designed your body in an amazing way. All the different parts are made to both help each other and need each other. It’s the same way that God designed your church as the body of Christ. He designed each of us to both help each other and need each other.
What are the spiritual gifts? Why do we have them? Today we’re going to see that our spiritual gifts were designed as tools to be used to serve those around us. When we use them in the right way, we glorify Jesus by loving our brothers and sisters the way Jesus loves them.
Today we’re going to look at the Lord’s supper. What is it? And how does it identify us as followers of Jesus when we take part in it? To help us, we’re going look at the Passover meal that Jesus and his disciples were eating when He set in place this time of remembering.
One of the last things Jesus told his disciples before He ascended into Heaven was to teach people to follow Him, and baptize them. This was important to Jesus. So why is it important? And what does baptism actually mean?
