FAITH ON FIRE, Walking in the Spirit of the Lord, Part 4
The big question is why is the church we see today so different from the chruch described in the Book of Acts? Is there a difference between possessing the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit possessing us? Pray to be filled with God's Holy Spirit so that you may be full of Him and to live and be led by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Using the gifts we have wisely
As soon as the topic of spiritual gifts come up, questions like this are asked: Are these the same as natural talents? How do I know my gift? Should I seek a specific gift? Why don’t we practice charismatic gifts at FBC? We shall see that: 1) There are a variety of gifts. 2) Each person has at least one gift. 3) Gifts are for the benefit of others. 4) Should gifts be sought? 5) Whatever gift we have, without love its useless. 6) How then should we use them?

Love: The Most Excellent Way
Paul inserts a timely discussion about love between chapters 12 and 14 of 1 Corinthians, showing us that spiritual gifts are empty if they stand alone. Even faith and hope are not as great as love. Love is the essential Christian quality: it never fails, and it truly reflects the character of God.

Small Enough To Be A Part
Finding our part in a group of people can be a challenging task. But it is never made harder than when we have an unrealistic expectation of who we are and what we can do. The body of Christ is made up of people who are supposed to be finding their spiritual gift and serving the body with it. But far too many in the church have too high an opinion of themselves. In Romans 12:3-8, Paul talks of how the transformed life of the living sacrifice has learned to think rightly about itself and uses its gifts in service to the body.

Now About Spiritual Gifts
Now About Spiritual Gifts The early church focused less on the cross than they did on the resurrection, believing that just as God raised Jesus Christ from the dead, He would empower them to produce fruit for Him. This empowerment came through spiritual gifts that enabled each believer to serve the body of Christ in a special and unique way. That’s the way it still works. Ro 6:4, Ro 7:4, Matt 25:14, 1Cor 12, Php 2:4-8, Acts 6, Acts 9, 2Tim 2:20-21

Transformissional Gifts (SDSU)
Over the last few weeks we’ve been looking at this great topic of calling, what it is, what it means, and how it works out in our lives. Our hope is that we would come away from these messages recognizing that our call to God is primary to all other secondary callings we may sense or experience in our lives.

The Quiet Gifts That Change The World (1 Corinthians 12:14-26)

Gifted to Serve
For more on Vox Church, go to http://www.voxchurch.org. In John 13:3, it says that Jesus knew "that the Father had given all things into his hands." It is in this moment that Jesus reveals his true nature: a servant. Then he tells his disciples in v 14 "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet." Part of conforming to the image of Christ is becoming a servant of all. By serving, we find our identity more and more because it is how we were created to be. Moreover, we find healing and power for the journey ahead.

The Bad Samaritan
What's going on with people who claim to be Christians -- people who have prayed the prayer, been baptized, and show up to church, etc. -- but their lives just don't show much evidence at all of their "new birth"? What's up with that?

Spiritual Gifts #1
A mosaic is "a combination of diverse elements forming a coherent whole." God has created the church to be His Body (Soma) on earth. But where do we "fit" in that body? What part do we play in the Body? What does God expect from us as parts of the Body? Join us as we spend time looking at our unique place in the Body and how we can all fit together to be a beautiful mosaic, "a combination of diverse elements forming a coherent whole."
