The Corinthian Believers had so many good things going for them that also presented a multitude of challenges for them. This resulted in much confusion and disorder. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians addressed the various issues they were facing. Simultaneously, Paul was redirecting the Believers' focus on who they were as a holy people of a Holy God and the purpose of YeHoVaH/God in them as Believers and in the midst of them as an Assembly.

Prophecy, Tongues & Orderly Worship
June 15, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 1 Corinthians 14
Yeshua told His followers that they “will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Inclusive of the promised Holy Spirit are the gifts of the Spirit including prophecy and tongues. Paul gives further instructions on operating in the gifts in an orderly fashion during worship including his position on women’s roles when the Saints assemble.
Faith, Hope and Love
June 8, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 1 Corinthians 13
Speaking in tongues, the gift of prophecy, words of knowledge, faith, and other gifts of the Spirit are extremely essential to the individual Believer and the Body of Messiah as a whole. The manifestations of these gifts in the Assembly amongst the Believers assists, builds, heals, encourages and grows the set apart ones into maturity in faith in Messiah. Equally as important as the manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit in the Assembly are Believers operating these gifts in love.
Spiritual Gifts & The Body of Messiah
June 1, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 1 Corinthians 12
Spiritual Gifts are given to the Body of Messiah for a variety of reasons. Without Spiritual Gifts, the Body of Messiah would be ineffective and unable to fulfill its mission and purpose on the earth. YeHoVaH enables the Believer to manifest and operate the gifts of the Spirit in accordance to His will. This teaching takes the mystery out of manifesting Spiritual Gifts and empowers the Body of Messiah with truth relevant in today’s times.
