1 Corinthians: Lessons from Paul on Spiritual Gifts
For many, spiritual gifts are one of the most fundamental parts of their faith. The charismatic movement, for example, makes the gift of tongues one of the most important signs of salvation and a relationship with Christ.

The concept of spiritual gifts is shrouded in mystery. For many, spiritual gifts are one of the most fundamental parts of their faith. The charismatic movement, for example, makes the gift of tongues one of the most important signs of salvation and a relationship with Christ. Many say that if you do not speak in tongues, your relationship with Christ isn't fully established.

Spiritual gifts are listed by Paul several times in Scripture, and we will focus on unpacking his writings to the Church in Corinth (1 Corinthians 12-14). Although Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians was written 2000 years ago, it is full of relevant lessons for today’s Church.
