Returning to our study of Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, Pastor Sonny kicks off a new mini-series discussing what it truly means to be a spiritual person. Rather than measuring spiritual maturity by specific gifts like prophecy or speaking in tongues, Paul reminds the Corinthian church that the true evidence of the Holy Spirit is the shared confession of Jesus Christ as Lord. Discover how our common identity in Christ eliminates spiritual superiority and unites every believer as an equally valuable part of God’s church.
1 Corinthians 12:1–3
12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. 3 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.
