Timing Is Everything

1 Corinthians 13:8-12

November 8, 2015 • Jeff Lyle

The core issue in the discussion about the gifts of the Holy Spirit is not IF those gifts will cease, but WHEN they will cease. Scripture clearly teaches that the gifts of the Holy Spirit will come to an end one day. Sincere Christians debate whether this has already occurred or will occur at some other point in the future. Both groups cannot be correct. Somebody is theologically right, and someone has gotten it wrong. This message takes a look at the question, “Does the Scripture teach that the gifts of the Holy Spirit have ended already?” If those gifts have ceased, when and why did this occur according to Scripture? If these gifts have not ceased, what is the point in time which Scripture details that the ceasing occurs. Welcome to the great debate!

The Truth About Prophecy

December 9, 2015 • Jeff Lyle

This final message in the Spiritual Gifts series takes through much that is misunderstood about the gift of prophecy. While the previous message took a panoramic view of what the entire bible says about all things prophetic, this message fixates only upon the New Testament gift of the Holy Spirit called prophecy. How does this gift function? If we agree that it is a valid gift, does it carry equal authority with written Scripture? God’s intention for this gift is less about predicting the future and much more about building up believers in the present moment. Some of you who listen have this gift and may even exercise it without being aware that you are doing so. Grow in your appreciation of the gift of prophecy – Scripture teaches that it is to be pursued above any other spiritual gift!

The Gift of Prophecy

December 2, 2015 • Jeff Lyle

The gift of prophecy may be the most misunderstood gift for believers today. So many questions about the issue of the modern practice of prophecy arise among Christians who have high regard for the authority of Scripture. This message offers a panoramic view of what both the Old and New Testaments reveal about prophetic activity. Listen closely to understand better what NT prophecy is not, and then you will be prepared in the message which follows to grasp how prophecy functions among New Testament believers today.

Green Lights & Guardrails

November 29, 2015 • Jeff Lyle

When it comes to the gifts of the Holy Spirit, some Christians and churches believe it is a free-for-all. Other Christians and churches take more of a position of not-at-all. What do the Scriptures teach about the exercise of spiritual gifts when the Church gathers for worship? While we will see that we have a green light to exercise the gifts of the Spirit, we must also recognize the guardrails which keep us in the proper direction so that Christ is honored and the Church is edified.
