What would someone see if they watched your life from the outside? Would they recognize you as a follower of Christ by your actions alone? These challenging questions form the foundation of this soul-searching episode that invites listeners to examine the authenticity of their faith beyond mere words or church attendance.Jesse Cope dives deep into what it means to truly prioritize God in our daily lives, suggesting that prayer shouldn't be reserved for major life events but woven into the fabric of our everyday moments—from morning coffee decisions to interactions with family members. This consistent communion with God represents the kind of relationship that transforms not just individuals but communities and nations.The episode explores 1 Corinthians 12's powerful teaching on spiritual gifts, emphasizing how God specifically designed each person with unique talents and abilities for distinctive purposes. Much like the human body depends on all its parts—even those seemingly insignificant—our communities thrive when every member recognizes their God-given value and purpose. This biblical principle extends beyond church walls to our entire nation, where the suffering of one region or group ultimately affects everyone.As Cope reads from historical documents including Fox's Book of Martyrs and Revolutionary-era sermons, listeners gain perspective on the tremendous sacrifices made by previous generations to secure religious freedom and national liberty. These accounts serve as sobering reminders that the comfortable faith many practice today came at an extraordinary price—one that required communities to band together, communicate effectively, and stand firm against persecution.The message grows increasingly urgent when addressing America's current spiritual climate, characterized as a battle for the nation's soul. Listeners are called to strengthen Christian conservative communities through improved communication, support for local institutions like law enforcement and emergency services, and vigilant preparation for challenging times ahead. The historical parallel to pre-Revolutionary America's "minutemen" provides a compelling model for readiness.Take time today to evaluate how your faith manifests in tangible actions, consider your unique role in God's design for both church and nation, and recognize that the challenges facing communities across America will eventually reach us all. Will you be prepared spiritually and practically when they do?Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

1 Corinthians 12:1–7 (ESV)— 1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit. 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. YOU MUST BE INFORMED ON SPIRITUAL GIFTS! BECAUSE YOU ARE EMPOWERED TO USE YOUR GIFTS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE GOOD OF OTHERS! INFORMED IN SPIRITUAL GIFTS, NOT IGNORANT AND LED ASTRAY v1-2All informed! a) Because All Participate (v7,11, Romans 12:3-6, 1 Peter 4:10-11) b) Because All Formerly Ignorant ( Ephesians 2:1-5, Titus 3:3-6, 1 Peter 1:14-15) INFORMED TO EFFECT YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS v3 a) Lip Service Is Not Service In Christ (Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 12:33-37) b) All Service In Christ Is By The Power Of The Spirit Romans 10:9–10 (ESV) because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart onebelieves and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Matthew 7:21–23 (ESV) — 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' Matthew 12:33–37 (ESV) — 33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” EMPOWERED BY THE TRIUNE GOD WITH GIFTS FOR SERVICE v4-7 a) Variety In Gifts, Service And Activitiesb) Same Spirit, Lord, God; Unity In Purpose And Powerc) Each Given A Manifestation For The Common Good 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 1 Corinthians 12:8 (ESV) — 8 For to one is given through the Spirit….to another… to another… 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. Romans 12:3–6 (ESV) — 3 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… 1 Peter 4:10–11 (ESV) — 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Current Sermon Series Faith in Fiction: Finding God Between the Lines June 29 – July 13 Stories have always been God's chosen medium—from ancient parables to modern novels. Literature doesn't just entertain; it reveals profound truths about the human condition, moral struggle, and our deepest longings for meaning and redemption. In this transformative sermon series, we'll explore how faith intersects with great works of fiction, discovering how authors across centuries have wrestled with questions of belief, doubt, sacrifice, and grace. Each week, we'll examine how fictional characters mirror our own faith journeys—their moments of crisis and revelation, struggles with forgiveness, and encounters with the divine in unexpected places. Join us as we discover that the greatest stories are ultimately about us, our relationship with God, and the enduring narrative of redemption.

[6/29/2025] "Spiritual Gifts" comes from 1 Corinthians 12:4-7. It was preached by Pastor Sam Moyer at Mission Covenant Church on June 29, 2025.
In response to a question on spiritual gifts, Paul admonishes the Corinthians that all of the gifts are necessary for the well being of the body. Apparently there was some status seeking on the basis of having one gift over another.

You've got gifts—divinely wrapped and Spirit-delivered—and no, sitting on them isn't an option. In this episode, we dive into 1 Corinthians 12:7-18 and call out the holy hesitation that keeps too many believers spiritually stagnant. From wisdom to healing to speaking in tongues (yes, we're going there), it's time to stop acting like you're giftless. Every part of the body matters, and spoiler alert: that includes you. Tune in, get uncomfortable, and let's stop ghosting the Holy Ghost.
This week, Pastor Aaron invites us to consider the gift and challenge of community in our walk with Jesus. In a world that often celebrates independence and self-reliance, Scripture calls us to something different—a way of living that's deeply connected to others. Through biblical teaching and real-life examples, Aaron reminds us that we were never meant to follow Jesus alone. True freedom, healing, and transformation happen when we're rooted in a supportive, honest, and Spirit-led community. We each have a role to play in the Body of Christ, and we thrive when we live out our faith together.

When you dive into the Bible, you'll find characters like Moses and Peter who, at first, were pretty scared to talk about God. They worried that speaking up might cost them their lives. Yet, when God's Spirit moved within them, they found the bravery to raise their voices. Every now and then, you might feel that familiar twinge of fear when it comes to speaking on behalf of God. So, how do you get God to speak through you? Today, Pastor Mark invites you to open your heart to God. Handing over the steering wheel of your life to God means you can trust that He'll take you on a journey for His glory. Go ahead and let Him in!

In today's reading, Paul begins a new topic of discussion that will carry us through the next few chapters, and that is the topic of spiritual gifts. In the early church, speaking in another language by the Spirit must have been an incredible and awe-inspiring sight, as indicated in the books of Acts at Pentecost. This gifting was so unique and thrilling that everyone wanted to have that gift. Paul begins to tell the church at Corinth that there are different gifts given to different members of the church so that all might work together as one body for the building of the church to the glory of God. Some gifts are more notable, but this shouldn't mean that other gifts are unimportant or disposable. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
