1 Corinthians 12


Notes from this morning's sermon by Ps David. Quite apt as church was having a members meeting and I was going to youth MYF elections after church.

S - 1 Corinthians 12

Are you speaking, acting, using your gifts in ignorance?
What do your words and actions say about your allegiance?
If they tell others that you are a follower of Jesus, you are a spiritual person

Spiritual gifts are from God
Manifested by the Spirit
Are individually given to us - unique

Do you recognize yourself as a wonderful, useful creation of God?
Are you working in the Spirit to drclare Christ as Lord?

If not, Paul says you are just like pagan

At Pentecost, Holy Spirit cane and filled them individually and also them as a body of Christ

Build each other up, support each other. Equip and encourage each other. We all have a purpose, dont compare and try to be like someone else
Purpose not for us

Dont be jealous of one another
When one part of the body is hurting everybody hurts with them
If one part of the body isnt doing their part, the whole body suffers

Are you one with the body?
Are you serving the body?

P - Pray that I can be a fully functional part of the body of Christ.
Thank God for MYF elections - though a very long meeting, really glad he put a bunch of mostly new people to the committee for next year, in the hopes that they can be taught and trained (like 2 Timothy 3!) for the purpose of God's people.
