*Gifts in Diversity: The Body of Christ*
*1Corinthians 12 May 25, 2003*
* *
*Scripture Reading:*
Ephesians 4:1-16
*Introduction:*
As if the Corinthians couldn’t think of enough things to be divisive about, Paul now addresses the issue of spiritual gifts.
In the last chapter we discussed solutions for the differences in gender and status that adversely affected their worship.
Now we will discuss differences in ability that seem to be dividing the congregation.
Gifts in diversity, perspective, priority – 1Cor.
12, 13, 14.
Lessons from Christmas (gifts given with the individual in mind – gender, age, ability, need).
Lessons from Pastors’ Conference.
(diversity training, unified diversity, team work)
*Big Question:*
/What must we understand about spiritual gift diversity in the body of Christ?/
We must not remain ignorant about the spiritual gifts we have received.
Spiritual ignorance was the basic condition of our pre-Christian life.
Salvation is the basic gift of spiritual intelligence by the Holy Spirit to overcome our spiritual ignorance.
The gift of salvation opens us to the unified diversity of God’s generosity in the receiving of other gifts.
The Holy Spirit applies the generosity of God to the diversity of the church.
The Holy Spirit applies the generosity of God to the uniqueness of the individual.
The church is the body of Christ formed by God from unique individuals.
These unique individuals are dependent upon all others in the body.
The body is made to protect and honor its integrity.
The working diversity of spiritual gifts in the body of Christ is the greatest statement of God’s integrity we could ever proclaim.
