In this sermon, from 1 Corinthians 14:26-40, Pastor Marc shares from Paul’s practical instructions about the gifts of prophecy and tongues–how “God’s gifts are to be governed in the gathering for our good and His glory.”
In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul talked about spiritual gifts in terms of “now” and “then.” He mentioned how certain gifts were operating “now”–in his own day and time. But then He anticipated a time that would come later (aka “then”), when certain spiritual gifts (namely prophecy, tongues, and knowledge) would pass away. An important question […]
