Spirit Filled People: Part 2

In this powerful exploration of 1 Corinthians 12, we dive deep into the nature of spiritual gifts and their purpose within the body of Christ. The key message is clear: spiritual gifts are not about individual glory, but about manifesting the Spirit for the common good of all believers. We're reminded that these gifts come from the same Spirit, same Lord, and same God – emphasizing the unity in diversity that should characterize our walk with Christ. The text challenges us to rethink our understanding of being 'Spirit-filled.' It's not about speaking in tongues or any specific gift, but about love. This love – for God and for others – is the true evidence of a Spirit-filled life. As we navigate our spiritual journeys, let's earnestly desire these gifts, but always with the pursuit of love as our guiding principle. This message encourages us to embrace our unique giftings while fostering a deep sense of unity and mutual care within our church.
