Join us at Logan as we continue with our current series, Church in The Mess. This week Pastor Henry highlights every believer has a spiritual gift, empowered by one and the same Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit’s purpose is to glorify Christ, which is the clear test for all true spirituality. You have been given a manifestation of the Spirit for the common good, not as a lifeless idol, but as part of a living faith. Embrace the varieties of gifts and services, knowing that though they are different, they all come from the same Lord and God.
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. – 1 Corinthians 12:1-3 (ESV)
