Sermons on Spiritual Gifts
30 Worship that Reflects the God of Peace – 1 Corinthians 14:26-40
AM Worship Service 02 March 2025 Throughout 1 Corinthians, Paul addresses a church blessed with spiritual gifts but plagued by division, pride, and disorder. He consistently calls the Corinthians back to the gospel’s foundation—Christ crucified (1 Cor. 2:2)—and urges them to live worthy of their calling as saints.

Their focus had shifted from building one another up to elevating themselves. Instead of using their gifts to proclaim Christ as Lord, they sought to make themselves the center of attention, fracturing the unity that should characterize the body…
