Five Simple Truths About Spiritual Gifts (1 Corinthians 12:1-7)

Deek Dubberly, July 18, 2010
Part of the Spiritual Gifts series, preached at a Sunday Evening service

This is the introductory sermon for a series on what the Bible has to say about spiritual gifts. In 1 Cor. 12:1 Paul states emphatically that he does not want Christians to be ignorant about spiritual gifts. This sermon and series seeks to alleviate that need for such a command.

1 Corinthians 12:1-7

12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. (ESV)
