    Prophecy -- clear proclamation of God’s Word -- is the greatest gift of the tongue.

    Paul shows us what is most important when searching for a deeper relationship with Christ and the gifts of the Spirit.

    February 8, 2004 1 Corinthians 14:12-20 Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church. For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is ...read more

    While the text is about the gift of tongues, Paul greater concern is how all the gifts of the Spirit are being used for personal gain with little thought of others. Paul would encourage the building up of the body of Christ instead.

    Epiphany 5 C 1 Corinthians 14:12-20 02/08/04 A recent front-page story in the Wall Street Journal (January 6, 2004) reported U.S. Marines being trained for duty in Iraq are getting drilled in people skills as well as heavy weaponry.

    The Sound Of The Church

    The glory of God carries a sound and that sound has a message. The church must have a different sound than the world. What is the sound and message of the Church of God?

    1 Corinthians 14:7 – 8 1 Samuel 4:1 – 11; 7:2 – 11 I believe that everyone here will agree that every sound carries some sort of message. For instance, if your teenage child slams the door of his/her room, it carries the message of someone that is angry. Or, if you asked your children to wash the ...read more

    If God can’t trust us to function in this most basic gift correctly he is not going to give us anything more...

    THE ABUSE OF TONGUES I Cor. 14:1-25 As Pentecostals we tend to look upon 1 Cor 12 and 14 as instruction for Pentecostal worship The reality is that it is really correction not instruction. The problem that needed correction was their unbridled use of tongues in church which is specifically ...read more

    The gift of prophecy overshadows the gift of tongues; the language of love reigns supreme over all the gifts.

It occurred to me that at some point I will need a bottle of water from time to time and will have to ask a merchant for said water. How will I ask ...read more

    God gifts us to serve him and one another, in so doing we show off his love.

    If your husband, fiancé, or boyfriend goes out shopping for a Valentine’s Day present this afternoon, would you prefer he make his purchase at a jewellery store or at Canadian Tire?

    Q1: What is the speaking in tongues that Paul is discussing here? - In Acts, the gift of tongues was the gift of being able to speak in a foreign language. The disciples were miraculously given the ability to communicate in languages that they didn’t understand. This was a mighty sign for ...read more

    There are many voices crying out for our attention in this hectic and fast-paced world in which we live. We must learn to discern which voice is important and which ones are not.

    "There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification."

    Spiritual gifts could be abused. Prophecy of God should run contrary to the scriptures. In this sermon, we will review the gift of prophecy.

    INTRODUCTION: Today, we have been looking in general at the theme of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Thus far, we have found that God does not want us to be ignorant regarding the gifts of the Holy Spirit for he has given the gifts of the Holy Spirit by his appointment to each one of us for the ...read more

    An explanation prophecy and tongues from a charismatic Evangelical perspective.

    We’re spending some time looking at the gifts, and so far we’ve been emphasising the need to focus on the giver of the gifts and on being the gift by serving, rather than getting too anxious about discovering what your gift is. It’s been fairly safe so far, don’t you think? So this morning why ...read more
