Building Up the Body: Part I

1 Corinthians 12-14

Purpose: to use our God-given gifts to build up the body of Christ

1. “Now Concerning Spiritual Gifts, Brethren” (1 Cor 12:1)

2. One God: The Source of Unity in One Body (1 Cor 12 esp. vv 3-7, 13, 18-20)

3. God’s Love: The Key Unifier (1 Cor 13)

The church’s unity finds its source in God Himself. His Spirit unifies His people into one body. God gives gifts to the body for the building up of itself in love (Eph 4:16).
