This past weekend, we had a 2 hour worship night that was super powerful. These notes are pretty incomplete, but here's the basic outline of the 2 parts of the evening.
Part 1
1 Corinthians 14:1-5
Pursue Love
The desire for “air” –
spiritual gifts tell story of being choked in a wrestling match
Prophecy
1)
Builds up and encourages
the person
2)
Builds up and
encourages the church
Part 2
Understanding 1 Corinthians 12
**Share my journey towards "gifts" understanding
**this is the msost complete teaching in the NT
**Jesus didn't always talk about them - He showed us how to use them.
**Romans 8 - we have the same Spirit at Jesus
**12:4-6 are the outline for the chapter
Varieties of Gifts v 4 + 7-11
· For all the people – given freely by the hand of the
Spirit himself
· Given when you need it – operating as Jesus did
· Vs 7 – profitable for you to use your God-given gifts

Interpretation
· Vs 11 – word implies a habitual and repeated will of
the Spirit to his people
Varieties of Service v 5 +
12-26
· One of the most misunderstood passages of scripture
· Some who don’t believe in HS gifts actually still love
this passage!
· The outline points to “service” – v5 à service under the power of HS
· V12 - baptized
in the Holy Spirit (putty’s sermon)
· Read the familiar text (12-26)
o
Now recognize
that He’s talking about serving using the gifts of the HS that we have received
o
Honor those weird
ones that many struggle with
o
The body doesn’t
function properly (church don’t work) without all gifts in play
Varieties of Activities – v6
+ 27-31
· Third part links to the third section of the chapter
· Activities, workings, offices à HS has given gifts, empowered our services, PLUS He
now empowers certain people to work in an area
· Grace to all, “gracelets” to serve, then offices to
empower others!
**The questions are not an excuse to say "not my gift"
· Ephesians 4:11-16
