Faith, Hope and Love

1st Corinthians 13

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.

There Is No Resurrection?

June 22, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 1 Corinthians 15:1–34

The resurrection of the dead was a matter of grave concern in the Corinthian assembly. Resurrection deniers amongst the brethren in Corinth put the foundation of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Gospel Messiah taught, at risk and undermined the preaching of the Gospel, the salvation experience, and the hope of eternal life.   Additionally, the corrupted teaching against the resurrection caused the character of some to be corrupted, leading them away from righteous living to a sinful lifestyle.

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.

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.
