Pastor Kyle is doing a short three-week series on using our spiritual gifts. In week two, he’ll walk through some of those spiritual gifts and the ways they’re made both connected and diverse through the Spirit, and why that’s such good news for the church body.

Church can start to feel like a weekly event: show up, sit down, consume, leave. We push back hard on that idea by walking straight through 1 Corinthians 12 and Paul's warning to a divided church in Corinth, a city packed with wealth, trade, and clashing cultures. Jamie Bridges shows how the same pressures hit us today, and why spiritual gifts are not about status, attention, or self-fulfillment, but about serving real people with real needs through the power of the Holy Spirit. We talk about why unity does not require uniformity, why our identity in Christ has to be bigger than our differences, and why the body of Christ needs more than one public “mouth” to function. If you've ever felt sidelined, compared yourself to someone else, or assumed the church can run without you, Paul's body metaphor hits home: feet, hands, eyes, and ears all belong, and copying someone else's role only creates confusion. We also challenge the modern habit of turning church into a personality centered system that burns out leaders and trains everyone else to spectate. The message gets painfully practical by naming wounds that affect the whole body and inviting us to get healthy so we can be effective in our workplace, our neighborhood, and our community. If you want a clearer biblical view of spiritual gifts, church unity, and serving others with love, press play, then share this with a friend and leave a review to help more people find the conversation.Thanks for listening!  Follow us on Facebook or YouTube.

Opening a series on the church shared with two sister congregations in Lake Mary and Sanford, this message works through Paul's body analogy in 1 Corinthians 12:12-20, teaching that the church is a cohesive unit of distinct members with reciprocal need: you both belong and are needed.

Paul uses a person's body to explain how the body of Christ is to function. He says we are one body that serves the same Lord, worships the same God, and is filled with one Spirit, the Holy Spirit that comes from the One True God we worship! He uses the foot, the hand, the ear, the eyes, and the nose to prove his point. What's his point? That each body part is necessary for the body to function properly. If a foot is missing, it's harder to walk; if an hand is missing, it's harder to grasp things etc. each person in the body of Christ has been given a gift, or gifts, by the Holy Spirit and it is crucial for them to be present when the church meets to function properly. When one suffers, we all suffer. You have a gift the I do not and vice versa. We need each other, to encourage one another to continue in our walk with Jesus. We work together, not against one another. The body is not divided, like the church at Corinth, but it was designed to work together, to produce nutrients and waste. Noi matter how insignificant you seem to feel, you are needed in the body of Christ!

What happens when we spend more time comparing ourselves to others than using the gifts God has given us? In today's reflection, Andy continues through 1 Corinthians 12 as Paul describes the Church as the body of Christ. Every member has a purpose, every gift matters, and no calling is more important than another. Whether you're an eye, an ear, or even a spleen, God has uniquely equipped you to strengthen His Church. The challenge isn't becoming someone else—it's faithfully becoming the person God created you to be.Join us for our daily reflections.

What are spiritual gifts, and why does God give them? In today's reflection, Andy begins exploring 1 Corinthians 12, where Paul reminds us that every gift—from wisdom and faith to teaching and service—comes from the same Holy Spirit and is given for the common good. Through a personal story about his wife Holly's remarkable gift of faith, Andy reflects on how God uniquely equips each of us, not to elevate ourselves, but to strengthen the body of Christ. The focus is never on the gift itself, but on the Giver who empowers us to serve.Join us for our daily reflections.

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

Paul refers to people who have not given their lives to Jesus and have not been filled with his Spirit as “pagan”. These pagans put their faith in idols, false gods, that couldn't even speak, they could not communicate with the very people that were serving them. The pagans worshipped these false gods, carved idols in a certain image of these gods, would burn incense, make sacrifices, even sacrificed their children to them in extreme cases! Paul says, “Once were some of you but now you are Temple of God, His dwelling place, filled with His Spirit, and He has a relationship with you and has given you specific gifts to help the body function properly.” Are you a pagan? Or are you filled with the Spirit of God? If so, are you a part of the body of Christ? Are you meeting together with the believers when they assemble? You are badly needed!

I. Christians are to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace because the church is created by the God who is one in three and three in one, vv4-6. II. Christians are to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, because we are members of one body, v4. III. Christians are to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace because we share one hope, v4.

Join us this week as Pastor Nate helps us understand the Holy Sprit and spiritual gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:1-7 Definition “We may define a spiritual gift as a God given and therefore gracious capacity to serve the Body of Christ” (The Beginners Guide to Spiritual Gifts) Natural gifts - “natural abilities or talents are given by God through creation; qualities that are ‘innate' or ‘there from birth' which can be developed over time.” (Convergence) Acquired gifts - “abilities developed through training, education, experience, proficiencies, or competencies developed over time through your own effort.” (Convergence) Spiritual gifts - “A spiritual gift is a special attribute given by the Holy Spirit to every member in the body of Christ, according to God's grace, for use within the context of the body.” “Spiritual gifts are endowments or special skills given by God that enable us to make our unique contribution. They are not natural talents, but divine abilities that enable us to do ministry.” (Convergence) “Spiritual gifts are nothing less than God himself in us, energizing our souls, imparting revelation to our minds, infusing power in our wills and working His sovereign and gracious purposes through us. Spiritual gifts must never be viewed deistically, as if a God ‘out there' has sent some ‘thing' to us ‘down here.' Spiritual gifts are God present, with and through human thoughts, human deeds, human words, human love.” (The Beginners Guide to Spiritual Gifts) Direction The problems of your past do not change the potential for your future. The manifestation of the work of the Spirit is the powerful proclamation of the truth about Jesus. Distinction All of these are gifts. Some gifts are ministries – standing offices or positions in the church. Some gifts are activities – miraculous events or outpourings at a particular time and place (such as the manifestation of the Spirit mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:7). (Enduring Word) The opportunity for divine activity is created by serving consistently in humility Destination Everyone has something and no one has everything but when everyone uses the something they have, together we can have everything. The manifestation of the Spirit is when God's presence and divine activity become more apparent or obvious to us. “Spiritual gifts are concrete disclosures of divine activity” (The Beginners Guide to Spiritual Gifts)

Everybody came from a family. Some good. Some hard. Some you're still healing from. Here's what the whole Bible keeps saying: family was God's idea first. And He has never stopped building one. This Sunday, Pastor David brought the church together to celebrate kids and youth camp - and to show from Genesis to 1 Corinthians 12 that God has always been gathering His children. Kari (18 years in children's ministry) and Tisha (6 years leading youth) shared the vision and heartbeat of what's happening with the next generation. And a family in our church stood up and said what happens when a church actually lives this out - what it means to walk through something impossibly hard and not walk through it alone. In this message: The biblical flyover from Babel to Abraham - how God re-gathers what sin scatters Why Judges 2:10 is the reason youth ministry exists - and why we refuse to be that generation What 1 Corinthians 12 says about every member - including the youngest and the weakest Tisha's four-word youth vision: head, heart, hands, and feet Why your presence, your role, and your showing up matter more than you think Key Scriptures: Genesis 1:27–28; 12:3 • Deuteronomy 6:4–7 • Judges 2:10 • Mark 3:35 • John 1:12–13 • 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 • Ephesians 2:19; 3:14–15 • 1 John 3:1 • Colossians 2:6–7; 3:17

In this message from 1 Corinthians, Pastor J.D. takes a look at the topic of spiritual gifts. According to the Apostle Paul, God didn't establish his church as a collection of individuals, but as an interconnected body. I need you; you need me. Where do we see that interconnectedness most? In our spiritual gifts. None of us—and none of our brothers or sisters—can truly flourish until we know and exercise our gifts. In God's community, everybody has a special role to play. Every. Body. Including you.

Send us a message!We read 1 Corinthians 12 and 13 and face Paul's challenge that spiritual gifts are given for the good of the whole church, not for personal status. We also test our instincts toward independence or insecurity and come back to the center: love is what makes the body of Christ function. • reminding you about the free Messy Church Bible study guide and why 1 Corinthians stays practical • spiritual gifts coming from one Spirit and serving one Lord for the benefit of all • the body of Christ image that confronts envy, pride, and feeling unnecessary • why weaker or less visible members are essential and honored by God • love as the measure of maturity that turns gifts from noise into life • contrasting American independence with biblical dependence on God and each other • warning against ranking and organizing gifts as “more important” • two reflection questions about drifting toward self-reliance or self-dismissal  At outloudbible.com, you can find free resources to help you study the Bible.

The Church is the body of Christ, made up of many diverse parts working together under the direction of the Head—Jesus Himself. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that every believer has a God-given role, and every local church must be built upon Christ to be effective for His Kingdom. The problem comes when members of the body neglect their gifts or covet the gifts of others. Paul rebuked the Corinthians for forgetting that God Himself places each part in the body exactly as He desires. When believers refuse to use their gifts, they are resisting the Lord's wise purpose for their lives. Dr. Youssef reminds us that some of the most history-shaping servants of God are virtually unknown. The people who taught, prayed, gave, discipled, and supported behind the scenes may never have become famous, but their faithfulness helped advance the Gospel through figures like Martin Luther, D. L. Moody, and William Carey. No gift is too small, too hidden, or too ordinary when it is surrendered to Christ. God has a plan and purpose for you in His Church—for your good and for His glory. Let us pray.  Precious Lord, use me for Your Kingdom in the body of believers. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.
