“Charity – The Purpose of God’s Gifts” • 1st Corinthians Chapter 14 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.

After a brief review of the first verse of the chapter, Elder Bryce teaches that reason that God blessed the 1st Century Christians with miraculous gifts was so that they could help others. God still blesses His children today for the same reason. If we have been blessed by God with understanding, love, or any other gift of the Spirit, it is not so that we may brag about being one of God’s children. We have been given these gifts in order to be of benefit to others in our church and community.

“Love Is The Greatest Thing” • 1st Corinthians 13 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.

Charity is a fruit of the spirit. That means it is a gift from God. But, unlike the temporary miraculous gifts of the first century, charity was designed as an eternal gift. The miraculous gifts ended int the first century. During our lives now we have faith and hope to help us. We have charity to help others. And charity is the greatest because God is love and charity “will still live one in all eternity.”

Part 2 of the message begins in verse 5.
