1 Corinthians 12 | Pastor Steve Miller

Big Idea: Spiritual gifts reveal the intentional place and purpose for every believer in God’s church.

Pastor Steve preached from 1 Corinthians 12, showing that spiritual gifts are not random abilities but intentional assignments from the Holy Spirit. Each believer is placed in the body by God’s design, for God’s glory, and for the good of the church.

Paul reminds us that no gift exists for self-promotion. Every gift serves a purpose. Every member belongs. When we understand our place in the body, division fades and unity strengthens. The church flourishes when each believer faithfully uses what God has entrusted to them.

Spiritual gifts are not about status. They are about service. They are evidence that God has intentionally placed you in His church with purpose.

Pastor Steve preached from 1 Corinthians 11:17–34, calling the church to see communion rightly—not as routine, but as worship centered on the glory of Christ.

In Corinth, the Lord’s Table had become divided and self-focused. Paul corrects them by bringing their attention back to what truly matters: the body and blood of Christ. Communion is not about preference or status. It is about remembrance. It is about repentance. It is about proclaiming the Lord’s death until He comes.

When we gather at the Table with humility and discernment, the church is refocused. Our hearts are examined. Our unity is restored. And Christ is exalted.

Big Idea: God’s order for communion refocuses the church on the glory of Christ.

Pastor Steve preached from 1 Corinthians 11:2–16, reminding us that God is a God of order—not confusion—and His design is always good. What God establishes is intentional. What He orders is meant to bring life, clarity, and unity within the church.

True freedom is not found in rejecting God’s design, but in joyfully submitting to it. When the church lives under God’s authority, His beauty is displayed and His glory is made known.

Big Idea: Order within the church is the result of submission to God’s design.
