Title - Instruments Of Edification
Series - Lessons From 1 Corinthians
Background
Edification was a major theme in the Apostle Paul’s 2 epistles to the Corinthians.
Despite a significant presence of spiritual gifts among them, the church was weak and chaotic.
They lacked the wisdom that would enable them to be a strong and built up church.
Main Point
If the church wants to be built up (edified), we must identify the “things” that will contribute to our edification, and pursue them.
edification - Gk. oikodome, building up; the act of bringing something to fullness or completion
pursue - Gk. dioko, to strive after, chase
Sermon Points
What things will contribute to edification?
Peace
R
Peace is the bedding ground for edification
Acts 13.
Love
Love is more excellent than knowledge
1 Cor 13.2
Knowledge make us arrogant, and arrogance destroys relationships
Paul’s example - knowledge concerning eating of things offered to idols
1 Cor 8.4
1 Cor 8.7
Note: it is NOT the knowledge itself that is dangerous, but the mishandling of the knowledge.
This can be corrected by love.
How the problem is resolved
speak the truth in love
do your share in love
Clear Message
1 Cor 14.3-5
The church is edified when the message from God is clear
Note: Paul’s illustrations
1 Cor 14.6-8
Musical instruments with a clear not encourages singing
a trumpet with a certain sound prepared the soldier for battle
.11
language unites a people
How is this resolved
1 Cor 14.12-1
if there unknown tongues, pray for interpretation
Pray with understanding
Sing with understanding
Speak with a clear message
whether it is preaching, exhortation, singing, tongues, prophesying, etc.
Ephesians 4.29
Speak good
good words impart grace to the hearer
good words edify
God-Ordained Authority
2 Cor 10
Paul was careful how to exercise his authority.
He believed it was given to him for the edification of the saints
- Paul’s 2 letters was an exercise of authority
God-ordained authority warns, and rebukes
Paul warned the church against divisions, the leaven, etc.
Paul rebuked the unrepentant sinner among them
God-ordained authority corrects
Paul corrected their way of praying
Paul corrected their practice of the Last Supper
Paul corrected their improper use of their gifts
God-ordained authority equips the saints
What’s the Right Attitude
Respect authority
the Corinthian church can only benefit from Paul’s authority if they recognized his role in their life.
Use your authority to edify the people of God
Peace
Peace is the bedding ground for edification
Peace makes it possible for members to be built up (edified).
peace means the members are not fighting, competing, and arguing, etc.
peace means sin is purged from the midst of the church
peace means everyone considers one another as friends and buddies in Christ.
Conclusion
Become an Instrument for Edification!
Pursue these things and practice them in the church
Become an instrument for edification -
