Pursue Love and Desire Spiritual Gifts: 1 Cor. 14:1-4
In this passage Paul says that for the sake of loving others, and because God is still giving the more obviously supernatural spiritual gifts, we should earnestly desire them, especially prophecy.
House Communities at Gift Giving (12:3-8) I entitled this section house communities at gift giving to emphasize the original context for sharing spiritual gifts and developing the relational culture of Christian community. Paul's reciprocal pronouns, his “one another's”, are the building blocks of his house churches. And Romans 12 mentions three of them. The context is small house churches as noted in Romans 16:3-5, across the Gentile world. “Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus… Greet also the church that meets in their home.” 12:3-5 Paul is beginning to describe what a transformed charismatic church might look like. He's noted that transformation comes from renewing one's mind in order to discern God's will. He explains how to begin this renewal by addressing a necessary mindset, a self-perception. He uses a word for thinking four times. 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. He's describing the mental pathway to achieving prudence, moderation, one of the cardinal virtues. ESV – sober judgment, thinking soberly about oneself, carries this idea. Such thinking is based in the mercies of God. He has to emphasize the attitude of humility because the gentile world considered it a weakness. He moves from humble self-assessment verse 16: Do not be haughty but associate with the lowly (a transformation beginning in one's self-assessment trickling down to one's social commitments (breaking through the mindsets of ethnic (Jew & Gentile), gender and class smuggery). This is an example of Christian transformation Paul has in mind. He tells each person not to think of themselves more highly than they out to think, but according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. Measure? Is Paul inferring that people can have more of a quantity of faith than others? “I have more faith than you do!” To measure yourself by the amount of faith that God has given you? This understanding could foster precisely what Paul seeks to avoid (thinking more highly of oneself). If not quantity, then what? Perhaps Paul is saying the criterion of a realistic self-assessment is the standard of faith—knowing that one's relationship to God is a matter of trust. But faith can grow, as he speaks of Abraham in Romans 4:20 who grew in his faith, giving glory to God. Faith is dynamic, able to stretch, grow, operate. And while all faith is a gift from God, there is a unique gift of faith mentioned in I Corinthians 12:9 which is a different manifestation of the Spirit than what we might call saving faith. Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:2 reflects that “If I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” We began this series reflecting on the words of Jesus referring to faith in terms of size, the size of a mustard seed. In Matthew 17, the disciples come to Jesus having failed at exorcism. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” I don't believe Jesus is referring to the gift of saving faith, but what Paul mentioned in I Corinthians 12 and 13… Paul refers to Jesus' in this example - “… and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.”
ALIVE CHURCH MESSAGE | We Must Desire Spiritual Gifts - Ps. Troy Marshall
Desiring spiritual gifts is important, but our motives must be grounded in love and service for God. If we're not careful, our pursuit can shift toward a power drive or recognition, leading us away from God's purpose. In this message, we'll see how to seek these gifts with the right heart, ensuring they are used to serve others, build us up, and glorify God. It is our prayer that as you listen to this message, you are blessed and stirred up to desire spiritual gifts with a heart of love and service.

YOU HAVE SPIRITUAL GIFTS: DISCOVER AND USE THEM ROMANS 12:3-8; 1 CORINTHIANS 12, 14; EPHESIANS 4:7-14 SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 SESSION 2 è Review: Romans 12:3-8 – “Motivation Gifts” è Ministry Gifts: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 è Desire Spiritual Gifts, especially Prophecy: 1 Corinthians 14:1, 3 Prophetic Gifted Voices Today: è Speak forth boldly the Truth of God. è Speak Truth from God messages that are righteous, corrective. May be warnings to allow hearers to prepare for and sometimes prevent painful consequences. (Acts 21) è The Holy Spirit gives the gifts and operates the gifts as He wills! (1 Corinthians 12:11). The Holy Spirit's operation of prophecy brings edification (building up), exhortation (encouragement, loving instruction and perhaps correction), and comfort (presence, mercy, compassion). è The operation of the gift of prophecy in the Church is to edify, exhort, comfort (1 Corinthians 14:3) è Gifts of the Holy Spirit: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 for ministry • The word of wisdom: the special ability to see issues and circumstances from God's perspective and the skill to apply that Spirit-given perspective in life situations. The word of knowledge: The special ability to receive information from the Spirit of God which does not originate from the natural human sources. This gift operates for God's purposes. TO BE CONTINUED è “Guardrails” for the prophetic gift • Prophetic words are NOT equal to Scripture's authority and direction. • Prophetic voices are NOT to be given the place of the Spirit of God, Who is the Believers Teacher, Guide, and Source of Truth! (John 14 – John 16) è Tests For Trusting Prophecy • Does the message line up with properly contexted Scripture? • Does the message “bear witness” with the Holy Spirit's witness in me? • Does the message stand the test of time? • Does the prophet walk in order, submission, accountability to spiritual oversight and order? (Will he/she listen to other's “words”, admit it when mishearing, and stay in place of humble service? (1 Corinthians 14:29-32; 1 Corinthians 14:40)

To pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts' is a summary of the three chapters we have been looking at in this series. Paul encourages the church to be active in seeking the gifts, especially Prophecy, along with challenging motivation, heart attitudes, and how we can all use the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The church should desire spiritual gifts to build up the church.
This is the second installment in Eric Ludy's five-part mini-series on Spiritual Gifts. In this particular message, he focuses on what exactly “spiritual gifts” are, where they come, and what the Bible declares their purpose to be. Most Christians today shy away from both this topic and the functional benefit supplied by these gifts of grace. Ironically, Paul encourages us to have the complete opposite perspective on this matter. He exhorts us to “earnestly desire” them.

I Corinthians ch 14 vs 1 - Rev Don Smith - Sunday, October 30, 2022
Audio Bible New Testament Matthew to Apocalypse King James Version
église AB Lausanne ; KJV 1 Corinthians 14 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. ...

Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit1 Corinthians 14:1 NIV11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. 13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won't be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. 15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. 16 He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.Ephesians 4:11-16 NLT
