Podcasts about 1 Corinthians 12

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit…21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. Romans 123 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.1.     In what venues or parts of your life do you think status matters to you? Are there any skills, talents, or roles that seem to form too much of your identity?2.     Do you get tired of competing for or anxious about losing status or identity?3.     Jesus, the Head, gives his life for the members of his Body. How does this interrupt our ideas of status? If everything good in our lives is graced to us by God, even what we work on and for, how does that impact our identity and the ways we compare ourselves?4.     Jesus gives his honor to the dishonorable. Do we? How can we do that in church?5.     In the Body of Christ, everyone has value, everyone has an important role to play. Do you see that as true for you? What is your spiritual gift (role, function, appointment) for now in your church?

August 31, 20251 Corinthians 12: Spiritual GiftsFor more information about FCC, please visit our website at www.fccsantamaria.org

2 Kings 4 records further miracles in the ongoing ministry of Elisha. The first relates to Elisha's care for a widow woman and her son by the multiplication of the oil into the pots that she had borrowed at the command of the prophet. The oil only ceases once there are no more pots left to fill. This miracle illustrates that God can, and will, use us to our maximum potential as long as we make ourselves available. This miracle is followed by the giving of a son to a rich, but faithful and discerning woman from Shunem. Her son dies and in her distraught state she seeks aid from Yahweh's prophet, who resurrects her son- Elijah's servant Gehazi could not do this. The lesson is that only by the persistent and prayerful patience of His servants will the LORD fulfill His will. The reader should compare this miracle and the occurrences of sevens that are spoken of with the bringing of the rain by Elijah. For both these miracles the main point for us is stated in James 5 verses 13-18. The chapter ends with the miraculous healing of the stew for the sons of the prophets. The prophecy of Jeremiah concludes in chapter 52 with a record of the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple. It tells of the punishment of the wicked and vacillating king Zedekiah by Nebuchadnezzar. Zedekiah's punishment was precisely as the prophet had predicted. The people of Judah were taken to Babylon, where their exile lasted for 70 years; as yet again prophesied by Jeremiah 25 verses 11-12 and chapter 29 verses10-14. Jehoiachin was released from prison and elevated to the king's table until his death.From 1 Corinthians 12-14 Paul shows that the body of believers in Christ is analogous to the human body. In 1 Corinthians 12 the Apostle Paul describes how God through His Spirit had distributed gifts and roles within the ecclesia. Just as our bodily members have unique and distinctive functions so too is it within the ecclesia of Christ: compare Romans 12 verses 3-8. It is never a question as to what member is the most important; because the unseen and less showy members are the most vital to the body, ie the heart, the kidneys etc. Just as in Ephesians 4 verses 1-16. Paul demonstrates that, rather than the gift, it is the service - or function which the individual can contribute to the growth of the body into Christ its head. This chapter is an answer to all would be schismatics - the body of true believers in the one body of Christ. The Apostle finishes the chapter by telling his readers that the better way of service lay in three qualities, which were not the spirit gifts, but attributes available to all believers - FAITH, HOPE and LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13 reveals that the infantile aids of the spirit gifts would cease once their objective of establishing a mature community of believers had been completed. This is the basis of his magnificent treatise on love; showing it to be the greatest and only enduring gift. Hope will vanish when it is realised in God's Kingdom. Believing will have been completed in the receiving of immortality. What a wonderful experience awaits us when we will then know God as He now knows us. Only love goes on and never cease. Slowly read the chapter aloud. Ponder, pause and meditate its message for the way believers must live. This chapter in Paul's letter changes the Corinthians narrow self-focus to an elevation of their minds to living the truth as our Lord Jesus Christ our head directed both them and us: Ephesians 4 verses 11-16.

Big Idea: Why do tongues cause so much trouble in the church?1 Corinthians 12:27-31Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, leading, various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all do miracles? Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? But desire the greater gifts. And I will show you an even better way.I.    Should I pray for the gift of tongues?II.   Are all Christians supposed to speak in tongues?III.  Why don't we offer the chance for people to speak in tongues here?IV.   Do you have to be baptized by/in the Holy Spirit to speak in tongues?Next Steps: Believe: I need the gift of the Holy Spirit today.Become: I will develop my spiritual gift this week. Be Sent: I will use my spiritual gift to push back darkness this week.Discussion Questions: Do you know anyone with the gift of tongues?  If so, how do they use that gift to build God's kingdom?Do you know anyone with the gift of interpretation of tongues?  Did you receive all of the Holy Spirit when you became a Christian?  Explain your answer from Scripture.Which is better, the gift of tongues or the interpretation of tongues?Is it a sin not to use your spiritual gift?Since spiritual gifts come from God, is there anything you can do to grow them?Pray for the Holy Spirit to help you develop your spiritual gift(s) this week. 

This week, we looked at 1 Corinthians 12:12–27, where Paul takes a familiar ancient “body” metaphor and turns it inside out. In the Roman world, the body-image often justified hierarchy—“lesser” parts serve the elite “head.” Paul subverts that logic: in Christ's body the parts that seem weaker are indispensable; God has composed the church so honor bends toward the overlooked, division gives way to “the same care,” and every gift is necessary.We also heard the deeper claim: Paul doesn't say, “You're like a body,” but, “You are the body of Christ.” Our unity is not preference-based but Spirit-formed union with Jesus. That union demands three practices: reassign honor to the overlooked, practice solidarity in suffering and joy, and discern as a whole body. This is why our Vision Night matters—it's not a performance by a few but obedience together under one Head, Christ.Support the show

1 Corinthians 12:4–11 (ESV) — 4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

Pastor Erina concludes our Passions of the People series by preaching from 1 Corinthians 12, and what it means to live as the body of Christ. She exhorts us to move out of a season of "survival mode" into a more rich and abundant expression of the whole church body, bringing our gifts to co-create the table together.

So often we equate loving “the least of these” with doing something to or for them. However, the way Jesus interacts with “the least of these” in the Gospel shows that the most empowering way to love “the least of these” is to do life with them, helping them no longer see themselves as “least.” - Pastor Arek O'ConnellSupport the show

God appoints the gifts that the Church needs, and Paul reminds us of this truth in 1 Corinthians 12.This week, we dig deeper into these "higher gifts" and explore how they ultimately point toward unity.Some of the questions we consider include:What does unity really mean? How can we remain unified even when we land in different places regarding the gifts?Do individuals have gifts of healing and miracles?

(v7&11)-       Categories of thediversity of Gifts God has given through the Spirit (v8-10)  HOW DO WE DEFINE PROPHESY?                                                                            Accordingto the word! Deuteronomy 13:1–5, A Prophet doesn't contradict what God has declared   18:9–14,20 Not fortune-tellers, notpresumptive, never in error. Under penalty of death.

The gifts listed in this passage are appointed to and needed by the Church today. How are we supposed to use these gifts for the common good of the Church? 

Big Idea: Which is better, unity or uniformity?1 Corinthians 12:12-26For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body—so also is Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all given one Spirit to drink. Indeed, the body is not one part but many. If the foot should say, “Because I'm not a hand, I don't belong to the body,” it is not for that reason any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I'm not an eye, I don't belong to the body,” it is not for that reason any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But as it is, God has arranged each one of the parts in the body just as he wanted. And if they were all the same part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don't need you!” Or again, the head can't say to the feet, “I don't need you!” On the contrary, those parts of the body that are weaker are indispensable. And those parts of the body that we consider less honorable, we clothe these with greater honor, and our unrespectable parts are treated with greater respect, which our respectable parts do not need. Instead, God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the less honorable, so that there would be no division in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for each other. So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.I. Are spiritual gifts permanent?  II. Should we pray for (specific) spiritual gifts?III. If all gifts are important, why are some called “miracles”?Next Steps: Believe: I need Jesus to give me the gift of new life today.Become: I will honor someone else's gifts this week. Be Sent: I will use my gift to help someone who is suffering this week.Discussion Questions: What do you consider the most important spiritual need in the church right now?  Why?Have you taken a spiritual gift test more than once?  If so, did it change?How does seeing another person honored make you feel?How can you grow personally when others are being honored instead of you?How does it make you feel to give someone else praise for their efforts?How can the church grow stronger when individuals better understand their personal gifts?Pray for the Holy Spirit to help you use your spiritual gift this week.

God has graciously brought a diversity of individuals to The Town Church. In this episode, we take time to reflect on the unique giftings we see in a small number of those people and the beauty of God's design in bringing us together.Some questions for discussion:A common belief today is that the Church does not have a place in our personal relationship with God. How does this passage speak to that?Why is uniformity not necessary for true unity?

This week, we continue our series on 1 Corinthians. Join us as we learn that all gifts of the Spirit are valuable and necessary for a healthy church.

The church is composed of a wide variety of people, and everyone has something different to bring to the table. This passage answers an important question: What are God's designs for unity in the diversity of the local church?

Corinthians

Today, Paul begins to speak of the nature of the body of Christ and the diversity of spiritual gifts within it. Just as a physical body is made of many parts that are united together, Paul teaches that the church should be united in love and put away childish divisions, otherwise their flashy spiritual gifts are absolute rubbish. He goes on to encourage the church to desire the gifts that build up the body over-and-above the gift of speaking in tongues. Before concluding with instructions for the church, Paul argues with those who say there is no resurrection, contending that without resurrection our faith in Christ is utter foolishness.1 Corinthians 12 - 1:17 . 1 Corinthians 13 - 5:48 . 1 Corinthians 14 - 9:05 . 1 Corinthians 15 - 15:30 . 1 Corinthians 16 - 25:02 . Psalm 112 - 28:10 . Psalm 113 - 29:30 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
