Spirit Empowered Gifts Part 2 | Inside Out Week 5 | Pastor Chad Fagundes

John 6:63: The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. (MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)

 

 

Same Being (What we Are)= God

 

• Eternal, All-Powerful, Holy, Creator, Worthy of Worship(MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)

 

Three Persons (Who we are)

 

• Father → Source, Initiator, Loving Authority(MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)

 

• Son → Redeemer, Savior, Word made flesh(MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)

 

• Spirit → Comforter, Empowerer, Indweller(MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)

 

1 Cor. 12:1-3 NIV: Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.(MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)

 

 

Two Unifying Thoughts

 

1. Gifts are useful and build but the person is the true value. (MULTILINE)

 

1 Cor.12 21-26 NIV: The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.(MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)

 

2. God doesn’t need you, He chooses you.(MULTILINE)

A Living Sacrifice

 

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.(MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)

 

Humble Service in the Body of Christ

 

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.(MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)

Love in Action

 

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.(MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)

 

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.(MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.(MULTILINE REVEAL TINY)
