Curing Charismatic Confusion (1 Cor. 14:1-33)
Due to the Corinthians' egotistic understanding of ministry, their church services had degraded into showmanship and individual experiences. In this sermon we will perform a summary view of Paul's treatise against private fanaticism, for the sake of building up, and maintaining corporate order, within each local expression of Christ's church.
Cessation of the Sign Gifts for a More Excellent Way P.2 (1 Cor. 13:8-13)
In this sermon we evaluate the gifts of prophecy, tongues, and knowledge, assessing the more technical matters associated, along with finding clarity on "the perfect" in which every believer should place their hope.
Cessation of the Sign Gifts for a More Excellent Way P.1 (1 Cor. 13:1-10a)
In the most beautiful chapter of the New Testament, Paul points out the fading nature of spiritual gifts, and the eternal treasure of love; reminding us that even if we're the most "gifted" Christian in the room, lest we serve in love, all our effort will be counted as waste.
Discovering and Using Your Spiritual Gifts in Church (1 Cor. 12:14-31)
The Corinthians pursued showy gifts and ministry roles, turning their church into a display of human power, rather than a symphony of holy harmony led by the Spirit. In this message, we study Paul's warning to have the right attitude in relation to our spiritual gift, and how we use that gift to bless the body of Christ.
A Biblical Analysis of Miracles and Fraudulent Faith-Healers
Over the past 30-years "faith healing" movements have mainstreamed in the evangelical church. In this message, we analyze the claims of these so-called healers, holding their ministry and teaching up against the New Testament.
Your Instrument in the Spirit's Orchestra (1 Cor. 12:4-11)
The Spirit gives every Christian a gift to be used for the edification of others, and in this vital section of Scripture, Paul instructs the church about the beautiful variety and vital unity of true spiritual gifts.
The First Test to Discern True Spiritual Gifts (1 Cor. 12:1-3)
Due to their immense pride, the Corinthians were abusing spiritual gifts, using them to bolster notoriety, instead of to honor Christ. So Paul responds, reminding them that true works of the Spirit will always point to Christ, and bring holy harmony, and edification, to the church.
