1 Corinthians 12:1-11

“Same Spirit, Different Gifts”

1 Corinthians 12:1-11

“Jesus' followers have may have different gifts but the same Spirit”

12:1-3 – Who has the Spirit?

12:4-6 – The Same Spirit

12:7-11 –  Empowered for the Common Good

Application – Courageous and humble faithfulness.

For further thinking:  Why is it important to know that you have the same spirit as other believers? How does this cause courage? How does this cause humility?

Order!

Prolonged chaos is stressful; we prefer to be at peace that to be in disarray. In Corinthians, Paul urges the church to embrace order in their gatherings instead of chaos. By doing so, we will love each other well.

Body Building

The spiritual gifts of speaking in tongues and prophecy can seem spectacular in nature and Paul urges the Corinthians, and us, to use them correctly. In doing so, he urges believers to prioritize ‘we’ over ‘me’ in the worship gathering.

Love, Actually

In one of the most famous Bible passages, the Apostle Paul extols the virtues of love above all of the other things that we as people find important. It leads us to evaluate our own lives for evidence of love for others - how well am I loving people?

Body Parts

In 1 Cor 12:12-31, Paul compares the Church to a body, stressing the significance of each member. Unity is crucial, as diversity in roles contributes to the body's effective functioning.

Same Spirit, Different Gifts

It can be easy to feel we are inadequate. We can see how gifted others are and wish we could be like them. But for those who are followers of Jesus, we have the Spirit of God in us and therefore we can live courageously and humbly.
