Renewal: The Spirit-Empowered Life

For the third week of Lent, Pastor Jim focuses on another aspect of spiritual renewal. He preaches on 1 Corinthians 12:1-14, 26-31 and how we are collectively formed by the Spirit of God into Christ's body to serve and love one another. Unlike the cultural narratives we may hear regularly, he says, "I'm dependent on you and you are dependent on me. You have been given spiritual gifts that I won't receive from the Spirit, and I have giftings you won't receive. And yet, the very gifts we need are indeed made available to us. They are provided by the empowering Spirit through the community of believers."
