The Corinthians had a love problem in their congregation, and were putting much of their focus on how to elevate themselves instead of loving others. So how does Paul instruct them in this regard? Having laid forth his words in "the love chapter" (1 Cor. 13), he continues his thoughts by telling the church how love should lead to the desire to build up the church. We begin to explore this in this episode.

In this episode we explore the subject of tongues, looking specifically at three instances in the book of Acts where they are mentioned. What can we learn about tongues from these passages, and can they help us determine if tongues are for today or if they have ceased?

*Note: In the course of the message, I say that John's Baptism was for forgiveness, but that's not what I meant to say; I meant to say that it was a baptism of repentance.

Paul says that love is the greatest out of faith, hope, and love. Why is that the case? We answer that question in this episode, as well as explain what this has to do with the Corinthian problem that has been discussed in 1 Corinthians 12.

First Corinthians 13 is famously known as the "love chapter," but before we examine Paul's words on what love is, in this episode we set the stage in the first few verses by talking about the importance of love as a motivation in what we do, especially as it relates to exercising our spiritual gifts for the common good (1 Corinthians 12:7). What does God think of our ministry if love is not the motivation? (Note: This sermon was delivered in February 2022, not in 2023 as I stated at the beginning of the episode).

In this episode, we finish 1 Corinthians 12, talking about the right and proper attitude we should have about our gifts, the role of those gifts, and our ministry toward one another. We explore how wrong perspectives on the spiritual gifts and our place in the body of Christ can lead to prideful thoughts that run contrary to God's design.

In this episode, we talk about spiritual gifts, what some of them are, and how they relate to Paul's illustrative concept of the church being a single united body in Christ.

When you think of "manifestations of the Spirit," do you usually think of a display that is grand and impressive? While the Spirit's manifestation has been shown in this way, it is not the only way. In this episode, we talk about manifestations of the Spirit as Paul spoke about to his Corinthian audience, and we talk about how the "simple" manifestations are just as glorious as what we might deem as more spectacular.

In this episode, we introduce our study of 1 Corinthians 12-14 by looking at the first few verses of chapter 12. We talk about the Corinthian context on their perspective of spiritual gifts, and their misunderstanding of the purpose and proper use of those gifts. This will set the stage for the corrective Paul will lay out as the passage unfolds.
