Equipping the Saints to Worship With Care - 1 Corinthians

Pastor Warren Harvey preaches on 1 Corinthians 14:1-40. Jesus said that God is seeking worshipers to worship him in spirit and in truth. And God equips us to do that through the various spiritual gifts he gives to each member of his body. But how do we know if God is really among us? For some in Corinth and some today, the gift of speaking in tongues was a sure sign that the Spirit had shown up. And while tongues may build up the gifted individual, it can be confusing to those who don't understand. The greater gifts are those that strengthen, encourage and build up not just the individual but others in the body of Christ who gather for worship. And that happens as God speaks to and through us in a manner that enables all to hear and understand and be encouraged by his Spirit and truth. Join us as we consider how to pursue love and desire and exercise the spiritual gifts that promote care and not confusion in the body of Christ.
