Prophecy differs from teaching primarily through the way God communicates to His people. In this lesson, Pastor Philip uses the example of Samuel, the boy prophet, to illustrate how God has provided clarity to his people through the gift of prophecy.

The gift of teaching is one of the most prominent gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is so well known because it is one of the most publicly used gifts.

Unity is a blessing to everyone. In this lesson, Pastor Philip teaches the final verses of Paul’s letter to the Philippians as he offers some encouragement to his brothers and sisters. Through their obedience to Christ and commitment to unity, they played a part in Paul’s ministry and have been an example to Christians throughout history. Their simple testimony not only blessed Paul, but also showed the rich result of pleasing God through obedience to unity.

Many believers will acknowledge the importance of unity in the church and in their personal lives. But what does it practically look like to live as a unifier?  In this lesson, Pastor Philip teaches the mind, life, and product of being a unifier to those around us. It is not something that comes without any effort. It takes intentional focus and determination to be someone who brings others together.

Trophies are a big deal to us. More than likely, growing up there were celebrations over your accomplishments. What would it be like to be part of a team only celebrated individuals and obsessed about what each person had individually accomplished? In this passage of scripture, Pastor Philip teaches that some of the greatest hindrances we face in our walk with God are obsessing about our individual accomplishments at the expense of the body of Christ.
