A scripture reading this morning comes from 1st Corinthians chapter 12.

There are diversities of gifts.

But the Same Spirit there are differences of Ministries, but the same lord and there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.

But the manifestation of the spirit is given to each one for the profit of all.

Click.

421 is given the word of wisdom, through the spirit, to another the word of knowledge, to The Same Spirit to another Faith by The Same Spirit to another Gifts of healing, by The Same Spirit.

To another the working of Miracles to another prophecy, to another Discerning of spirits to another different kinds of times to another, the interpretation of times.

But one and the Same Spirit works, all these things Distributing to each one individually.

As he Wills.

May God had his Blessing to the reading and hearing of the word this morning.

Please be seated.

Thank you, brother Joel.

Obviously, as I said before, Pastor, John is gone, so we're going to have a party.

Now we're going to now, we're in First Corinthians.

He's been working through.

We're going to get to these passive.

He's going to get to these passages, but I wanted to do a little groundwork.

Can he said fine?

Because he said, chances are I'm going to come from a different angle when he comes.

Meaning way of teaching point out different things.

So if in a few weeks or months to August of these passages, we're going to deal with today.

You'll go.

This sounds familiar.

But pay attention.

So let me pray for us.

Before we go on Heavenly Father.

Lord.

I just I thank you for your word.

It's precious.

It's a love letter that you wrote To Us in blood nailed to a cross, and it was given to us that we might have life and we might understand what you have ordained.

There is much confusion in the world, the church world.

And I pray that as we look into these passages today.

Some of that confusion will fall away and that we might get a little bit more clarity and what you have ordained specially in this topic of spiritual gifts.

Pray that you'll be glorified by our message today.

In Christ's name.

We pray.

Amen.

Okay, so I have entitled this message the maturing of knowledge.

I think we can all relate.

Can anybody remember being a little kid crawling around hands and knees and then growing up?

So in terms of spiritual gifts, that's kind of what has to go on or what has been going on in the church over the years.

So is we've already discovered in our journey through First Corinthians.

I spoken during some months ago now out of chapter 8 and one of the things that we learn that you fear any remember, or you could just open your Bibles to look at 1st Corinthians, 8, verse 1. God doesn't want us to be ignorant.

He wants to know.

But the problem is knowledge in and of itself pops up.

It has to be administered, used activated through love, and that was what my message was way back now, so wisely managed.

The knowledge that God gives us his god-given knowledge, helps us rightly to understand or divide the word of God.

Instead of 2nd Timothy 2:15.

You don't have to turn there, but you can look at it sometime on your own.

So, in a, in a Christian realm today.

There's a lot of confusion.

You know, we have all these denominations.

We have all these different groups and we'll we believe in his, we believe in that we meet on Sundays, we meet on Saturdays.

There's a lot of confusion.

And if you do over Bible Doctrine, sweet disagree, and that's why denominations form, an, do you believe in transubstantiation?

We believe in consubstantiation.

Do we believe in the memorial service, you're talking about the communion.

So, there's a lot of things, but I think that the really the, the area that's the sharpest delineation, isn't spiritual gifts.

You know, how do we take spiritual gifts?

What are they?

How do we administer them?

What do we do?

How they practiced Etc?

So we have to exercise god-given wisdom to figure this out.

We also have to go to his word.

Go to the scriptures.

So scripture clearly teaches and we're not this so much, I could go, by the way.

I Probably need you guys to strap in cuz we're going to go fast eventually and I go to cut out a third of what I was going to say.

So if I go to ours, just be glad it wasn't three.

So I've already cut out of there at 33%, So I'm just going to stipulate, you know, how in the court of law that you boil to go?

Well, we stipulate this that we assume this is correct in that, we agree with that.

So I'm a shin scripture, clearly teaches that spiritual gifts are given out by the Holy Spirit.

The word gift in the Greek is the word Patty Smyth.

How do you smile?

We get the word Charisma or charismatic from it?

So, when he talked about charismatic movement, they really over and precise spiritual gifts.

Hence, the name Charisma, and then course, if it's regarding the holy spirit's pneumatic, that we normally, but in the Greek to pee in the end or pronounced, which is really hard when you have a dry mouth, neumatica means pertaining to the spirit, so, Cuddy's mob neumatica would be gifts pertaining to the spirit.

That makes sense you with me so far.

All right.

So let me give you a couple of just quick quick.

It was Grayson's dealing with this idea of maturing of knowledge.

You ever hear that I'm not a Wine Drinker or, you know, heavy Spirits, never hear them talk about the fact that we have to cage them a bottle.

Then we put them in a barrel and change them.

So you age them.

How about if you're cutting wood?

Do you use the, would you cut immediately the green wood, or do you have to season it yet to season?

It.

It works better that way, Burns better that way.

And then of course, another one is it?

Have you ever been told when you were a little kid by your parents?

Someday?

You'll understand.

So we have to grow up, we have to age, we have to mature.

So with that in mind, let's look at a chart.

There are four groupings of spiritual gifts or places that you find them in the Bible for places specifically.
