Christ Is The Answer – Evaluation of Spiritual Gifts

      20010304 Christ Is The Answer - Evaluation Of Spiritual Gifts - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

What is a #SpiritualGift?  When a person becomes a follower of #Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit enters that person and amplifies or bestows a talent for the Believer to use to glorify God.  All gifts have a purpose but are they all equal?  The church at Corinth had become fascinated with one particular gift and in this passage Paul had to help them restore the balance.  Why is the gift of prophecy better than the gift of speaking in tongues?  Is prophecy only about the future?  How does prophecy build up the Church and evangelize the lost?  Paul gave serious warnings about the gift of speaking in tongues and when it should not be used.  Seek the giver not the gift.

If trusting in #Jesus #Christ as your #Lord and #Savior only bestowed #eternal life on the #Believer that would be more than enough to make it worth our decision.  But God did not stop there.  He has bestowed every one of the Faithful with one nor more spiritual gifts.  Are spiritual gifts the same as spiritual fruit?  What are these gifts and can anybody have more than one?  Only the Holy Spirit enables a person to say that Jesus is Lord.  What will the true Christian never say?  What role do each of the three figures of the Godhead play in the function of these gifts?  For what purpose are we given these gifts?  Later Paul will give a full list of the spiritual gifts, but here he lists the ones the Corinthians were struggling to handle.  Why are some gifts less evident today?  The gifts Paul covers in this passage are wisdom, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment, and the speaking and interpretation of tongues.

Biblical Basis For Missions – Old Testament Scriptures

Bible Audio Blog

Some people mistakenly believe that #Jesus Christ and the #Gospel are not mentioned in the Old Testament, just the New.  There is a great book by #JosephFarah called ’The Gospel in Every Book of the Old Testament that deals with this in greater detail.  But, in this message Brother Tommy will take us through a brief journey of examples of this in the Old Testament.  How does the Bible develop the basis for missions in the Old Testament?  It uses the law, history, poetry, and prophecy mixed together in various amounts to achieve this purpose.  Are there also examples of the deployment of the Gospel there as well?  How is missions like a stream?

His Infernal Ministry – The Performance Of The Unholy Spirit – In Terms Of Tricks

Bible Audio Blog

Would you go to see a #magic act if you knew how the tricks were done?  Probably not, and that is the purpose of today’s message – to expose the pattern of schemes the #devil uses.   No 30 minute lesson could cover all the ways #Satan tries to draw people’s attention away from Jesus, but at least Brother Tommy can explain some caution signs.  What is the draw and the danger of attempting to speak to the dead?  How does the devil try to trick us by taking advantage of our wish to know what the future holds?  Are there any true prophetic voices around today?  Is there any merit to witchcraft?  Is there any danger to adopting some of the Eastern religious practices like meditation or transcendentalism?  Are there incidences in the Bible of Godly individuals taking part in occult like activities?  What does the Bible say about taking part in any of these practices?  What is the danger of dabbling with horoscopes or ouija boards?

What’s That Roar?

      19841223pm What's That Roar - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Have you ever heard a #lion #roar?  I don’t mean an #imitation on tv or the computer.  I mean #live and in person.  It is powerful and you can feel it shake your whole body.  What can we learn about God from this amazing story about Amos?  Where does this roar come from?  Why is the roar being heard?  Is it a lack of church attendance or sacrificial giving or is it something more basic like turning their backs on God and treating others poorly?  Do you remember what Jesus said the two most important commandments are?  Does God judge the actions of men or the motivation?  How many of these sins being committed by these ancient nations can we see being done today?  How do we put human tradition ahead of divine instruction?  What is the only way to flee from God?

This is a great series Brother Tommy taught from mid 1980 to mid 1981 about End Times prophecy.  In this lesson he talks about the Millennium, the Rapture, whether to take prophetic scripture literally or symbolically, and legitimate differences of opinion among true Christians about how prophecy will unfold.  I hope you enjoy this set of messages as much as I did.  And I pray that it gives you peace about what to expect from the future.  There are over 30 different episodes and Lord willing I will post one every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday until they are all presented.
