Summary

"How should churches today balance valuing every member’s gift while also pursuing order in worship, especially when it comes to gifts like tongues and prophecy? Paul places the famous ‘love chapter’ right in the middle of his teaching on spiritual gifts. What does this show us about the relationship between love and the use of our gifts in the church? How does the bodily resurrection of Jesus—and our future resurrection—shape the way Christians live right now? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member Laura Buchelt talk about 1 Corinthians 12-16, and dive into how we ought to understand Paul's teaching on the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

0:00.0	Now, if we're honest, reading the Bible consistently can be a challenge, but know that it's never
0:05.2	too late to start and we're in this together. Thanks for journeying with us. And here's your host, Emma,
0:12.5	daughter. Thanks for joining. Today, we are reading 1st Corinthians 12 through 16 and I am in the podcast
0:18.4	studio with faithful follower of Jesus and watermark member, Laura Bouchelt,
0:39.5	and I call her Elby. Hello, Watermark family. Elby, it's good to have you here. It is so good to be here with you. This is fun. This is so fun. For those who don't know you, would you just share a little bit about what God has done in your life? I would love to. I am so grateful I was raised in a family that knew Christ. My dad was a pastor. And so I got to be raised in that environment and was saved at a
0:45.2	young age in college. I fell in love with the Bible, like fell in love with the Bible and had this
0:52.4	just need to understand what it meant and what it was saying.

1:00.1	And it's been so cool to watch God use that in different places of ministry.

1:25.9	Well, I'm glad you're here. I got some good questions for you.
1:28.4	Yeah, you teed me up in light of those passions of yours.
1:31.6	So let's jump in.
1:33.0	We're looking at 1st Corinthians 12 through 16 in which we get the sign gifts and a lot of chapters
1:38.8	that honestly divide the church.
1:40.6	Yes.
