Fusion: week of 12/10

FAMILY THEME: GIFTED TO SERVE

1 Corinthians 12:1-31

Part of the division in the church revolved around the use of spiritual gifts.

Paul used this chapter to clear up the confusion.

1.  There Are Many Spiritual Gifts, All Given by the Same Holy Spirit

     (1 Corinthians 12:1-11)

     Spiritual gifts lead to a variety of ways to serve and different

     kinds of good works.

 
2.  There is One Body, Made Up of Many Parts

     (1 Corinthians 12:12-26)

     The body of Christ is pictured as unity that depends on diversity.

 
3.  Each Part of the Body Should Fulfill Its Particular Role 

     (1 Corinthians 12:27-31)

     While we don't all have the same function, we are all a part

     of the same body and we all play a unique part in the church.
