Prophecy and Tongues

July 3, 2016 ()

Bible Text: 1 Corinthians 14:1-25 |

Series:

This is an important chapter as it addresses the modern charismatic movement. What is prophecy? What are tongues? Are they what we see today?

We spend the first part of the sermon defining these gifts and then look at the passage as we seek to understand why prophecy is better than tongues.



1 Corinthians

The book of 1 Corinthians was written to a troubled yet gifted church. Paul, an apostle of God, through the inspiration of the Spirit addresses a number of issues that are so relevant to today's church. He address divisions, the Lord's supper, the importance of the resurrection, sexual immorality, marriage, spiritual gifts, and much more. He applies the gospel to each issue. Certainly we need to listen to God's word as these issues are addressed.
