Featuring: Pastor Lucas Miles 

In this episode, Pastor Lucas Miles continues a summer-long exploration of 1 Corinthians, focusing specifically on chapter 14. The message addresses the challenges of interpreting difficult biblical passages, such as those relating to spiritual gifts and the role of women in the church. Pastor Lucas delves into three main themes: Paul’s defense of his apostolic authority, the issue of over-realized eschatology, and the importance of considering others above oneself in the church community. The discussion emphasizes the balance between pursuing spiritual gifts like tongues and prophecy while maintaining order and edification within the church assembly. The sermon also sets the stage for a deeper examination of controversial verses regarding women’s roles in the next session.
