Building up the Body

Series: Gifts of the Spirit

Category: The Church

Speaker: Jason Williams

In the final sermon of our Gifts of the Spirit series, we looked at 1 Corinthians 14. In this passage, Paul continues his plea for the church to pursue love as the basis from which they serve with their spiritual gifts, in order that the church may be built up. Paul reminds the church that in order for the gift of tongues to be beneficial, there must be an interpreter who can translate the tongues spoken into a revelation, knowledge, prophecy or teaching. Without translation, the person speaking in tongues will seem like a foreigner to the listeners and the church will not be built up. In this final plea, Paul’s main point is to encourage the church to bring their gifts together and to use them to build up one another, striving for order and peace that reflects the character of God.
