Passage: The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians 1 Corinthians 12:12-31

Preacher: Rob Holster

Series: To God's Church

Summary:

Last time we started to look at Spiritual Gifts––and how we're to use them in the church. All of us who are in Christ have a gift––a supernatural ability to serve the body of Christ (the Church). God has great plans for us as a church family. We're not just called to attend a service on Sunday mornings. No, church is family––the family of God. And so we're called to help each other––to serve one another––to encourage and love one another. And God has given us the unique ability to do that. We just need to discover how he's gifted us. One of the reasons Paul was writing to the Corinthians––was to tell them that each gift was essential to the healthy functioning of the body. And he's going to continue that theme as we cover the next part: 1 Corinthians 12:12-31, where he describes the church as one body with many members. Paul reminds us that, just as a body has many different parts that each have an important role, the body of Christ is made up of many different people, gifts, and callings. Though we are different, we belong to one another—and every member has a place and purpose in God’s family. God calls us to live together in unity, value one another, and faithfully use the gifts He has given us.
