About this episode
Pastor Dell discusses the importance of using spiritual gifts to strengthen the church community in the first part of the series 'A Church Worth Becoming'.
Pastor Dell got us back into our series, "A Church Worth Becoming" this morning, sharing from 1 Corinthians 14. We are all spiritual bodybuilders, called to strengthen the body of Christ through proper use of our gifts. True worship extends beyond singing to encompass how we use our time, talents, and treasures for others' benefit. Rather than approaching church with a consumer mentality asking what we can receive, we should focus on what we can contribute. Spiritual gifts like prophecy and tongues are meant for corporate strengthening, not personal promotion. When we shift from self-focus to building up others, we participate in God's work of strengthening His church and often find ourselves blessed in the process.
