Sunday, September 19, 2021. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 | "Concerning Spiritual Gifts." 1 Corinthians is not written to a people in the flesh but to the Church in the Spirit. Therefore, the apostle turns his instruction in this twelfth chapter to spiritual things and the person and work of the Holy Spirit. He teaches that the Holy Spirit will never deceive us, divide us, or deprive us of what we need. Instead, God appoints various gifts, services, and activities to each of us according to His gracious will for us in Christ Jesus. This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. It is part of a preaching series through 1 Corinthians "To The Church." The title of this sermon is "Concerning Spiritual Gifts."

Are the gifts freely given or are recieved because of devout effort? It can be both-and.
