Intro:
As you know, it is our vision and our goal here, to teach through the Word of God..
Verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book.
++
On rare occasions we will break to focus our messages around specific topics..
But for the most part.. we trust that scripture is going to teach us everything we need..
If we indeed, study, everything that it has to offer.
++
Now, in doing that, we encounter the occasional discomforts and offenses..
Why?
Because.. despite our claims..
We don’t know everything.
++
We are not right, about everything we think we are right about..
So here’s what happens.. as we study the Word..
Often times, our beliefs are affirmed..
We are strengthened in what we know..
We are reminded..
Things are clarified..
And we learn completely new things..
++
But sometimes.. we open up this word..
And it shines light upon things that we don’t want to see..
For if we see them, in the light of God’s word..
We find out.. that we were wrong..
++
And in that, we’ll stand corrected.
many times.. I’ve had..
My doctrines challenged..
And.. because of God’s Word.. my doctrine changed..
++
My traditions have been challenged..
And.. because of God’s Word.. my traditions have changed..
++
And more often that the others..
The condition of my heart.. is challenged..
And, because of God’s Word.. I’ll have to change..
++
We often say, that all of the scriptures are profitable..
This is based on
++
SLIDE 2
++
Sure.. we get our education in doctrine..
We get re-affirmed in the things we know..
We receive instruction.. for a righteous life..
And.. we receive.. “correction”
++
Correction, is often times.. a life changing thing..
In it.. we might change churches.
We might change lifestyles
We might change behaviors
We might change the way we think
We might change the way we treat others
We might change the way we do business
++
… treat our children..
.. and so on, and so on, and so on..
The changes.. that are produced by correction..
Are, if we deal w/them properly.. .
.. always.. good.
++
.. and on the other side of correction.. we will say..
.. it’s been a good thing..
++
In today’s passage.. we find.. for the church in Corinth..
a lengthy correction..
they’ve already received several
But this one.. is a big one.
++
Because Paul is a great communicator, and Paul has a way of building a strong case, layer upon layer… these people… as they have read this letter… have...
++
and w/this letter from Paul, they were in fact, reading God’s inspired words..
Already, received instruction in:
Doctrine, reproof, righteousness..
And, in several areas.. they have already received correction..
++
But now.. as they move on from the instruction that we read in chapter 12
Concerning the responsibilities of the individual church members..
To use the gifts that were given to them to fulfill the churches’ purpose..
++
And now.. as they move on from the instruction that we read in chapter 13..
Concerning the motive in which they are to minister and use these gifts..
In all things.. that they would serve and minister in love..
++
Now.. they move again into an area of direct correction.. -Many of them are still licking their wounds from chapter 11… and here Paul is coming at them again.
++
This correction links intimately to chapters 12 and 13…
There are gifts, that the individuals are to utilize in ministry for the greater edification of the whole body (chapter 12)
And in these gifts.. we are to do everything with a motivation of love.. (chapter 13)
But.. (chapter 14).. there is a problem..
++
For in some ways, with some of the gifts..
Love is not being a motive..
The same problem they were having at the love feasts..
They were having at these church gatherings..
++
However, this time, it’s not a matter of food..
It is.. instead.. a matter of spiritual expression.
Everyone should have a turn..
and in that, there should be order..
and in that.. there are certain guidelines..
++
and these are all established for the consideration of every member..
Otherwise.. these meetings.. would be chaotic.. and unfruitful..
++
Apparently, such was the case here in Corinth..
Now.. before we get into it..
Let me prepare you..
Today.. we’re gonna talk a whole lot.. about the gift of tongues.
As a matter of fact.. we are going to draw out.. 10 facts.. 10 points concerning the gift of tongues..
Why? - Well, quite honestly, tongues is not something we as the church are generally comfortable with…
++
No..
Some come out of a background where there was great comfort and freedom concerning tongues, and every church service abounded in it… everyone shouting out at the same time.
++
Some come out of a background where your pastor told you that tongues were from the Devil...
++
And in between those two extremes… most of you will probably find your unique background.
++
But chapter 14 is obsessive about tongues.. in a corrective manner..
And that’s where we’re at… chapter 14
Many of you come from one of two backgrounds concerning this issue..
Some.. have been in environments..
Where tongues are practiced freely and frantically..
They believe that tongues is validation.. of the Holy Spirit’s filling..
They hold no guidelines or structure on it’s practice..
