1 Corinthians chapter 12. Now, about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. You know that when you were pagan somehow or other, you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. Therefore, I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them and all men.

A particular type of gift, the elitist gift, is that if you don't have it, somehow, you're not really a believer, somehow, you're not really a Christian. Of course, those things aren't true, we know that. But as we watch that kind of abuse, the rest of us who believe in the gifts because they're scriptural, they're laid out for us repeatedly in the Bible, the rest of us acknowledge them, but then we shy away from using them and we're not exactly how to use them biblically without coming off as kind of flaky and weird and without being a participant in the abuse of the gifts.

3. Purpose of Spiritual Gifts (1 Corinth 12:12-26)
Thursday May 09, 2024
Thursday May 09, 2024
Something's just not quite right when it's being abused, and we know that. And you can see the self -centeredness of that kind of usage of the gifts. And then what happens to a lot of us, I would say the larger part of the Christian church, because of that abuse, we've tended to kind of be like, off from the gifts. And we assent to them, we acknowledge them, we declare them biblical because they are biblical and they are in the Bible, but when we come to the actual practice of the gifts, we don't see them functioning very often in the church. And so that seems to be the kind of two opposites of how the gifts are being misused or ignored.

2. Part 2: The Purpose of Spiritual Gifts - (1 Cor 12:12-26)
Tuesday May 07, 2024
Tuesday May 07, 2024
If we abuse the gifts, then we're doing damage to the body of Christ and certainly not using them for the purpose for which Christ gave them. them through the Holy Spirit. And so, I talked about that last week and we're building kind of a foundation from which we can understand the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
And I talked about the fact that the foundation of the gifts is love. And we looked at the context of all of the passages from Ephesians, from Romans, and from 1 Corinthians. And in each of those passages, it's all around it, is the... critical importance of agape love.

1. Part 1: Foundation of Love - I Cor 13
Thursday May 02, 2024
Thursday May 02, 2024
There's lots of abuse when it comes to the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and almost always it results from a lack of love, a misunderstanding about the foundational truth of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. And I'm going to get to that in a few minutes, so I'll explain that. It's almost always emphasizing the individual rather than the corporate body, where it's drawing a lot of attention to that person.

01. Check Him Out! (John 1:19-51)
Tuesday Apr 30, 2024
Tuesday Apr 30, 2024
The Bible starts out in the book of John with John speaking of Jesus Christ. He's the Messiah He was pre -existent. He is distinct from the father and the and the Holy Spirit and at the same time He is deity. He is God and so John starts out with his grandiose beginning of explaining who Jesus Christ is. Today we're going to be looking at John the Baptist, and an introduction to his life, also looking at John's first experience with Jesus in understanding that he's the Messiah, and then look at one of them, what I believe is one of the most fundamental and basic teachings on evangelism and the Bible on how to reach others with the good news of Jesus Christ.

40. The Recommissioning of Peter (John 21:15-25)
Thursday Apr 25, 2024
Thursday Apr 25, 2024
Very specifically, through Christ, to a certain lifestyle and to follow Him and to make disciples, we're going to go over some of this. But in the face of discouragement and Peter's own failure, he went back to what he was most comfortable with in the past, and he went fishing, and we talked about that life. last week. But, as Romans 11, 29 tells us, God's calling and gifts are irrevocable.
And God knew that Peter was going to take a dive for a short period of time. And not only Peter, but that he was going to influence the other disciples to go AWOL as well. But you know the wonderful thing about God, and if you get nothing else from today's message except this, I want you to remember that God... is a God that never gives up. He never says, "That's it. You're finished.

39. Absent Without Leave (John 21:1-14)
Tuesday Apr 23, 2024
Tuesday Apr 23, 2024
I've entitled the teaching today "Absent Without Leave." For those of you in the military with any military background, and most of you that don't have military background, you know what?
What absent without leave means, it means a situation where a soldier commissioned to do a certain post or a certain responsibility leaves without the authorization of his commanding officer.
There are actually a number of figures in the Bible who were guilty of going AWOL. In fact, we find in the very first few chapters of the Bible Adam and Eve going AWOL on the commissioning that God gave them.

38. Sightings (John 20:10-31)
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
For Christ, it's not sightings, it's appearances. Why? Because Christ made himself absolutely visible. You know, he wasn't hiding. He wasn't transporting us up into heaven and dissecting our brain and switching parts and then putting us back and trying to to erase our memories so that we couldn't recall what happened to us. No, I mean it's like Jesus came right down and he said, "Here I am. Feel me, touch me, examine me." There's no area 51 with Jesus.

37."It is Finished!" (John 19:16-30)
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
You know, over the years and over the millennia, there have been a number of men who have claimed to be enlightened and to have the word of truth. I think about Muhammad, Siddhartha Gautama, who was Buddha. We have Confucius and, of course, Jesus Christ. Each of these men, men died and was buried. But only one rose from the dead, never to die again, and his name was Jesus Christ
