Spiritual gifts are perhaps one of the more exciting and

We return today to 1 Corinthians, chapter 12. Paul has not changed the subject since 1:23 “Christ and him crucified”.

Today Paul takes this DISCERNING the BODY one step further. The Spirit does three actions: He shows us Christ, gives us GIFTS, and shapes and empowers them so that, 1 Cor. 10:31-33 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever

They would be used for the ADVANTAGE of ALL, thereby

Now, we are not partisan, as a church, in a horizontal way -

That’s because Jesus was raised from the dead. This makes

Including your ballot.

Now, Christians have many questions today, about voting. We cannot answer all of them today, but I want to consider these three:

1. What IS voting?

2. What are our LOYALTIES in voting?

3. What do we do AFTER we’ve voted?

The Lord’s Supper is only one of TWO ordinances that Jesus

Last week we considered the three attitudes that must characterize our observing the Lord’s Supper

-  Remembrance, of what Jesus did

-    Reflection, on how that is working its way into our body

- Recommissioning: we are recentered on HIS mission.

Today I want to consider three more aspects from this

- Divisions - how God uses them

- Devotion - how often we should devote ourselves

- Discipleship - how the Supper shapes us for ordinary life for HIS glory.

Paul is now addressing questions of WORSHIP. How should the church carry and conduct itself when it comes together?

Now in chapters 11-14, Paul is concerned with God’s glory being clearly DISPLAYED in the church, especially in its worship.

Today we consider v. 2-16 of chapter 11, and we must do so mindful of two obstacles. First, this passage involves women in worship, and WE have been discipled into feminism and egalitarianism more than we realize.

The second obstacle is that we are more materialistic and less supernatural in our outlook and in our WORSHIP than the Bible would have us.

Today we are returning to 1 Corinthians, and to the passage

Whatever you do, do ALL to the glory of God.

This is now the third Sunday we are considering the sin of ENVY. This is not because we ENJOY it, but because ENVY is THE emotion which inflates our superheated world.

Today Pastor Jed describes three reasons why socialism is immoral, sinful and harmful to the world. That’s because it breaks three commandments: the 8th commandment, the 10th commandment, and the Great Commandment. Therefore, socialism is wrong, evil and stupid.

We are returning to the topic of envy today because it is THE emotion which superheats our pressurized age.

Envy drives everything OUT THERE. But how could this be, in a country with so many Christians? It’s because WE are the salt and light, but we have not taken seriously Jesus’ command in Luke 12:15:

“Take care, and be on your guard against all

As the church goes, so goes the culture. Yet this command

It's so hard when we live in a world focused on, "What's in it for me." Yet, as Christians we are called to look out for the needs of others. The first century church did this well, but not without some growing pains. Envy got in the way and there was a steep cost for it.
