 Yeah, so let's pray and then we'll get started Let's pray right Father we thank you for this for this new day that you've given us Thank you for the opportunity that you've given us a lot to to gather Lord Around your presence around your word and this morning even as we do that Lord Father God We pray that you would speak to us Lord. We pray that you would show us Lord insights from your word. I pray I let your word convict us Strengthen us Lord produce faith in us Lord even as faith comes by hearing hearing the word of God and And I just pray Father God that you will build us up in the inner man I pray that Lord as we look through these Lord through your word. I pray that we will understand your word even more clearly I pray that your word will shed light on things that we did not know earlier And also Father God. I pray that Would give ourselves Completely Lord to the leading of the Holy Spirit and to the doctrine of Father God And so that our progress may be evident to all as you would at the glass Father God we commit ourselves to this and we give you all the rays and all the glory in Jesus mattress name We pray amen Okay, so Let's Continue from where we stopped So we've been going through all the chapters all the verses and Corinthians and Yeah, so last class was on one Corinthians 11 right about I mean of course we looked at 10 also and then we We looked at 11 and we I think we went all the way up to 22 All over 16 right and I think we need to continue with verse 17 onwards Yeah, but I just want to know if if there are any questions if there are any doubts Based on what we looked at So far Any questions any doubts anything at all see we look at some very important aspect was about the The whole thing I get free and food out to I'll and Paul are talking about that and bring a You know a completion to that particular topic which was bothering the Corinthians which was really a problem there because of the culture because of the kind of You know environment they were in so we looked at that and We also looked at The whole aspect of head covering Okay, now head covering which could be and we saw that some things are cultural some things are meant for you know a particular people and a place and a time and and Certain other things which we see in the world are or universal in the sense it's applicable across time and to all People and all congregations all people across churches. So some are exclusively for that particular church and In the Corinthian church this head covering While Paul talks about that he also addresses another important aspect which is headship Right headship and head covering are two different things one is a physical act One is you know, it could be traditional cultural which is head covering the other thing being headship which is divine order and A divine order or authority and how God has placed this in the church, right? either it's husband wife or you know, the Spiritual leader and the people in the church and so on the divine order that God established Establishes in the church, right? So he addresses both in Chapter 11 so any any questions any doubts in this see and I know that we are all You know culturally we have seen or maybe you yourself, you know cover your You know your head when it comes to Worship and I've seen it, you know in certain places Maybe not so much in the city, but definitely in the rural villages in the rural side and so on so we've seen that So there's nothing wrong in that, you know, if people want to do it, that's fine But we should be just aware why people do it and it's it's not Something that is mandated. Okay. There was a reason why Paul said, you know, if woman Praise or prophesies with her head uncovered. It is it is shameful, you know If her head is uncovered it'll be shown or Let the head be shaved, you know, it's it's equal into that. So there is there's a reason we looked at that, right? So any questions or doubts regarding that? We should be clear in our minds about this. So if there are any questions, we will we will address that right Anything at all. Okay, no doubts. No questions. It's clear Okay, so I just want to know like what is your understanding of it then, you know, what is your understanding of head covering So what do you think do you think women should cover their heads? You know, you plant a church you start a church. So what will you teach? Will you ask women to cover their heads? If so, why and if you're not going to do that then, you know Why again the reason, right? The reason should be clear. So so that's the thing Anyone you can put it in the chat You can unmute and share as well Anyone Thomas would you like to share? Do you have that in? Yes Yeah, so have you encountered these kind of challenges have you Actually, I was in another ministry for almost five years as associate pastor This kind of issues are not raised because some people and women's are arguing this That sister is not it covering Like that I used to go for the context it's more than a head covering it should not become a ritual. Yeah So I used to explain why Paul explains that and what is the background of this verse? So it's not matter of what covering or not covering. It's matter of the obeying the word says that it's a Matter of some submission under the man or a husband like an authority That's what it's it's really mean So I'll encourage if you want you can cover but if somebody's not covering don't force them Okay Depend on them. It's matter about obeying the word of God. That's how I used to tell No, that's good. I think that's good advice. Yeah Okay right, so So the so this is the context in which Paul shares this right? So so we need to understand that and if you personally feel that okay You know, I need to cover my head like I'm talking to the women, of course Just go ahead and do it. There's nothing wrong. You know, you're you're doing it unto God but You know, there's no need to force others to do it, right? Because scripturally when we see you don't see that as something that's applicable across churches because Paul in in verse 16 1 Corinthians 11 and verse 16 he Wraps wraps up that whole discussion and they says if anyone seems to be contentious Right. We have no such custom Okay, nor do the churches of God. Okay, so so that's something for you personally to To understand for us personally to understand and also if people ask right if people have doubts if people have questions We can always share and teach them, you know from from what we have learned The context and of course, it's going to be you know We need to be a little patient and because they say this is how we've done all these years, you know Why should we change and so on so? You can you know share from the word and also, you know, leave them with that verse 16 Where Paul says we do not have such custom, but you know the fact is if you want to do it do it, right? Okay Okay, so today Let's look at verse verses 17 onwards. Okay, which talks about the Lord's the Lord's table or Communion okay, the Lord's supper So let's let's read through Now when giving these instructions, I do not praise you I Since you come together not for the better, but for the worse For first of all when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you and in part I believe it For there must also be factions among you that those who are approved may be recognized among you Therefore when you come together in one place It is not to eat the Lord's supper for an eating each one takes his own supper ahead of others One is hungry and other is drunk. What do you not have houses to eat and drink in or do you despise? The church of God and shame those who have nothing. What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you. Okay, so so here he's Paul is talking about a specific Thing which is not in order Okay, and it's this whole issue of communion and what was happening is you know instead of Recognizing why or acknowledging why they were taking part in the communion and why they were doing this and also the Which Acknowledging that what they were doing so Here we see that the current in believers had actually, you know moved away from that truth and what was happening was Instead of really enjoying or You know walking in the truth with regard to communion there there was confusion And what was the confusion confusion was that one person would you know, they they would it had become a meal it had become a Cost for gathering and eating and drinking and Also, the fact was that one person would you know take the food and eat it and there was there was not enough for the other person and So So that is what Paul wants to address now. So let's say it was a 23 to 26. So he shares about What the Lord did and also the revelation that he received the instruction that he received from the Lord versus 23 onwards For I received from the Lord that which I also deliver to you that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread and When he had given thanks he broke it and said take eat This is my body which is broken for you Do this in remembrance of me in the same manner He also took the cup after supper saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood This do as often as you drink it in Remembrance of me for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup You proclaim the Lord's death till he comes. Okay, so So this is what the Lord Jesus did this is what the Lord Jesus said when he was with his disciples and It was the name the night in which he was betrayed. So He takes the bread and he says, you know, you do this in remembrance for me Remembrance of me and he gives the bread to his disciples right in the same manner He takes the cup and you notice that, you know, he took the cup after supper So which means that it was something that was done symbolically something that was done After supper after they had had the meal, right? So they got gathered together the they They had the meal and then after that this was done as a symbolic act, right? So he says this cup is The new covenant in my blood this do as often as you drink it in remembrance of me So he says What the bread signifies what the cup that they're going to drink of what that signifies And he says in both cases do this in remembrance of me. So Paul actually quotes the words of the Lord Jesus and And he says, you know, this is what what I received from the Lord and Then Was 27 onwards, let's review that was 27 to 34 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner Will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself Not discerning the Lord's body For this reason many are weak and sick among you and many sleep For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged But when we are judged we are chosen by the Lord that we may not be condemned with the world Therefore my brethren when you come together to eat wait for one another But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home Lest you come together for judgment and the rest I will set in order when I come Okay So what is the purpose? You know, he goes on to explain in verses 23 to 26 the purpose of the Lord's table or the purpose of communion Okay, so What was it? It was actually a proclamation A declaration and what was it proclaiming? What was it declaring? It was declaring and You know, it was a it was proclaiming. It is sort of a you know a loud Proclamation but yet without words, right? It was without words that action itself proclaimed something to You know to people who are there around people who were Watching and to the powers of darkness to God. It was a proclamation. It was by the believer What was it that all our sins have been paid for have been taken care of Because of what the Lord Jesus did on the cross all our sins have been taken care of it's been paid for The second one is that the power of sin is broken that sin does not have any domain of a life because that is what The Lord Jesus accomplished on the cross that the power of sin is broken That he removed our sickness because by his stripes we are healed The punishment for sin was being paid by the Lord So we don't have to carry that the consequence of that we don't have to carry every curse of the law was broken And so we don't have to be Coming under that curse instead of it. You know, we can receive the blessings of Abraham, right? and power of Satan Satan himself was and the powers of darkness were the the authority the power was actually destroyed the hold was broken Right and and the fact that we are God's possession that we've been redeemed from sin And we've been set free and we are now We belong to the Lord Jesus. So all this We proclaim we declare when We take part in the communion Okay, so it's a very powerful declaration When we you know, what happens when we declare the word of God when we agree With the truth of God's word we experience the the truth when we walk in the truth. We declare the truth We experience it right. We experience the power of God's word so here we see that Just a minute. Sorry. So here we see that Paul is saying, you know, this is what it is This is what the Lord said that the the bread Signifies the body the Lord himself carrying Us our sin our sickness everything on the cross And the cup it signifies his blood that was shed for us that sacrifice And also that covenant the new covenant that we have in the blood Okay, so what was happening there? In the Corinthian church, it was becoming Uh, this whole aspect of coming communion was become a has become Something like a feast. Okay. Well, there's nothing wrong But the fact is that they were not acknowledging What the Lord did for them on the cross they had, you know, it had become a ritual without meaning Right, it had become a tradition without The without people acknowledging the truth or the powerful Truth what it's what it actually was pointing to. Okay so Something was happening there And Paul was addressing this instead of receiving the blessing Okay, because it's it's um, you know, if you look at Chapter 10, okay, if you look at chapter 10 and verse 16 Right What does he say? No, this is a cup of blessing Okay, the cup that we drink of it's a cup of blessing which we bless Is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break is it not the communion of the body of Christ? So, you know, it's that fellowship is that oneness is that sharing That we we receive From the the body and the blood of Jesus At what has happened there is it it says it's the communion It's the fellowship is the sharing. It's uh, it's us receiving what has happened Okay And what the Lord was actually imparting to us the victory over sin the the the power of The power and the authority Of breaking the hold of the enemy everything the Lord Was actually, you know sharing with us Communion communion With us, right? So when we when we did when we did that when we do that every time we do that so So Paul saying that, you know, now you're not doing that order You are coming to Just get together and eat and drink Now that's becoming a problem and also even in that eating and drinking, you know, it's like uh, there are divisions Okay, uh chapter 11 verse 17 Uh 18 talks about, you know, there are divisions. There are factions, you know, which means there are groups Right and Those who seem to be leaders right you You want to be recognized among the people? Right all these things are happening Um, plus what is happening is they were not Acknowledging they were taking communion in an unworthy manner Okay, let's look at 27 Saying therefore whoever eats this bread Or drinks this cup in an unworthy manner will be guilty the body and blood of the lord sorry um body and blood of the lord But let a man examine himself. He says and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup Okay, so now when we don't eat in a worthy manner If we take part in communion in an unworthy manner not recognizing What it means not acknowledging what it actually is um, so and we Revivalential manner, you know Then what happens is he says that that person will be guilty of the body and blood of the lord But let a man examine himself and so let him eat Uh eat of the bread and drink of the cup for if he who eats and drinks In an unworthy manner for he who eats and drinks in unworthy manner drinks Judgment to himself not discerning the lord's body now. What is happening there? What is happening is that instead of this being a act which um of communion which brings blessing Because you're doing it in an unworthy manner instead of you know the The blessing in the sense the curse being Broken or addictions being broken or you know if there's any remnant of any sickness or symptoms of sickness You know receiving healing instead of that he's saying that um Was 30 for this reason many are weak And sick among you. See the opposite is happening Many are sick and weak Among you and many sleep in the sense Many have even you know because of their sickness because of their weakness. They have even passed away And they are they have died So um, so actually it's a cup of blessing It is supposed to bring health and healing and wholeness because you're proclaiming What the what the lord did on the cross? He took our sin. He took our sickness. He took our curse and reversed Right, he destroyed the body of sin so that we might enjoy the benefit of what he did for us on the cross So that we might enjoy salvation receive salvation receive forgiveness receive blessing Right and every curse being broken and the power of the enemy be broken So this is what we receive but instead of that You know we are because you're not acknowledging the truth What is happening? You're placing yourself in a position to the attack of the enemy Right, you're moving yourself away from the truth So what is happening? You're drinking judgment upon yourself You're not coming under the lord's also protection you yourself. You're moving away and therefore what is happening as your you would you're drinking Saying you're eating and drinking judgment Not discerning the lord's body saying let some person examine Right, uh, meaning investigate Check am I doing it the right way? Okay um now Excuse me Sometimes people say, you know, um, excuse me. You need to come Uh and take part in communion only after having asked forgiveness Okay, having glanced If you have not done so You know, uh, if you have not asked forgiveness if you have not uh in a right relationship with the lord Then don't take communion Okay, um I've heard people say that, you know, if you're not in a right relationship with the lord, don't take communion If you've not asked forgiveness, don't take communion. But the fact is we need to remember that communion actually refers to the cross Okay, so in taking communion In taking part in the lord's supper. We are actually asking forgiveness We are actually saying lord you took my sin on the cross right by being part of it and by um taking that step In order to take part in communion. What are we acknowledging? We are acknowledging that lord I know that you took my sins on the cross Right, and I I thank you that you know, I can receive forgiveness And I'm sorry that you know, I I did this Uh, you know, these things of the flesh or whatever, you know, I I didn't obey you. I disobeyed you intentionally Unintentionally, uh, I'm sorry. I I did that but I repent of that You know, I make a choice now not to do that and I receive the forgiveness that comes from the cross Because of what you did for me on the cross. So that is what you you and I are actually proclaiming when we take part in the communion so So when we say, you know, you need to get cleaned up You need to become uh, in a way, you know, like holy, uh, come to a place of Holiness and then only take part communion take part in the communion. You know, that is not correct. That isn't correct Okay, now that is not what paul is saying here. Let a man examine himself So what is happening here? They are not Discerning, you know, they are not understanding Acknowledging what the lord jesus did for them on the cross Okay, so it is he's referring to that and he's saying, you know, don't take it in an unworthy manner So when we say when we tell people, you know, uh, you need You're taking it in unworthy manner if you've sinned Then get right with god and then only take part No, that is not correct. Right. That is not taking part in unworthy. It is for the sinner Right, but the person who have accepted the lord, of course Person who has the understanding of what has happened on the cross and so with that understanding You proclaim saying I belong to jesus I know that he took my sin on the cross. I proclaim that he took all the curse on the cross I proclaim that he You know, the enemies hold over my life is broken. I belong to jesus I've been redeemed and i'm his purchase position And we come to that place of acknowledging that in taking communion Right, so that is taking communion in a worthy manner And not in an unworthy manner, right? So then he says So we that but if we would judge ourselves, so this is the I'm sorry was 30. This is what he says, you know For this reason The cause people are taking in an unworthy manner many are weak many are sick and many have even Are even us many even sleep Meaning that you know, this is what has happened. They've died um And so he's writing and to warn them and he says um, you know do it in a proper manner Right, so he says it was 33 therefore my brethren when you come together to eat wait for one another If anyone is hungry, so let it not turn into uh, uh, a feast where people are eating and one person is hungry And they don't have enough let it not let it not it's not that you know if you're hungry you eat at home Okay, uh, and of course, you know in today's Church, you know, uh We serve wafer we serve and there are places where they serve bread and so on so So if anyone is hungry, you know, don't treat this as Something to quench your physical hunger Okay, if anyone is hungry You eat at home And then you come Right there to meet at home Lest you come together for judgment and the rest I will set an order when I Come okay, so I hope we understand, you know why he says Do not eat and drink in an unworthy manner the Lord supper, right? So, um, this is the This is the reason that he says and uh, and he says, you know the outcome or the result of Eating in an unworthy manner Is this it's it's quite serious. Why? It's not because people are, you know, uh, you know, they have not confessed their sins have not acknowledged their sins It's not because of that. It's because they have not acknowledged what Jesus did for them on the Good to teach. Um, yeah, you know people about him in in the church and say, okay, this is for believers, right? This is this is for those who have Who have accepted the Lord as Lord and Savior and those who proclaim that this is what the Lord did for me Okay, who believe that who acknowledge that who agree. This is what it is because the person who's not accepted the Lord Well, uh, he or she Does not believe that Right does not believe that The Jesus died on the cross. So for that person, um, the whole thing of communion is it doesn't make sense Maybe it doesn't make sense. It doesn't it's uh, they do it in ignorant ignorance. It doesn't make sense It's just a mere form or ritual without meaning. So it's good to Teach your church and and and that's why, you know, many people teach and say, okay This is why we take part of the communion and therefore we'll do it with the understanding with the knowledge and understanding and it it's a powerful time a powerful time because You're proclaiming the truth and because of which Because of your our agreement with the truth and because of a proclamation of the truth We see we enforce You know, we affirm and enforce what the Lord did for us and receive in our body in our mind in our life the benefit Right what the Lord Jesus did for us the fruit of that we receive that In our lives if the enemy is trying to do something And if we have you know unintentionally, we open the door and made space for the enemy to come in You know because of our anger because of our bitterness because of our unforgiveness Because of dabbling in you know things of the lust and a lot, you know lust of the flesh and so on now That effectively You know brings an end to that Brings an end to the close and we shut the open door and we say no no more because This on the cross my Lord Jesus did this on the cross and I I I declare that again I recommit, um, you know myself to that truth again Right, okay any questions here? Okay, any questions about uh communion about Uh, you know Taking part of the communion in an unworthy manner right Okay, um, okay if there are no questions then uh, we will move on to chapter 12 Okay, so we covered up to chapter 11 So chapter 12 is what we look at now chapter When we move on to the next section Chapter 12 13 and 14 Paul addresses Like a singular theme one topic which is about The gifts of the spirit. Okay, so he's addressing Gifts of the spirit what they are he in fact gives a list how they should be used in church How you know, what what is it for and and also, uh, you know cautions them about the motives of the attitudes with which These gifts need to be used Or minister to And so on right so right from 12 up to 14. He's talking about the same thing right, um, and and obviously this was also one One, uh on an aspect or an issue in the church. Okay, so Things were not really happening The way it should be even though they they were all, uh, you know, most of them from what we see We see that they were all filled with the spirit and they were they had the understanding of gifts and Um, and they were walking in the gifts, right? It was prevalent in their church in the fellowship Right, so let's uh, let's start with the chapter 12 Okay, um, and we have we have studied this before and maybe in the weekend school in the holy spirit class Um, you know, we've we've studied this so it it's a It's a reiteration. So it's a revision of those things that we've already learned. All right. Okay. Um, so let's look at chapter 12 okay, um Just one second Okay, chapter 12 Let's begin from verse verse one Now concerning spiritual gifts Okay, so he's going to talk about spiritual gifts now concerning spiritual gifts brethren I do not want you to be ignorant. You know that you were Gentiles carried away to these dumb idols However, you were led therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the spirit of god calls jesus Accursed and no one can say that jesus is lord except by the holy spirit There are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit There are differences of ministries, but the same lord There are diversities of activities, but it is the same god who works all in all But the manifestation of the spirit is given to each one for the profit of all For to one is given the word of wisdom through the spirit to another the word of knowledge through the same spirit To another faith by the same spirit to another gifts of healings by the same spirit to another Working of miracles to another prophecy To another discerning of spirits to another different kinds of tongues to another the interpretation of tongues But one and the same spirit Works all these things distributing to each one individually as he wills okay, so So paul is saying that okay now we're going to talk about spiritual gifts And the first thing is I do not want you to be ignorant meaning, you know You should have an understanding of the spiritual gifts. Okay, and the word used there spiritual gifts is using the word pneumatic cause which means something that is not of the flesh. Okay, something that is not of the natural naturally You know a learned or trained which comes from natural training right something something that's not of natural origin Um non carnal. So something that is supernatural. Okay, so So concerning these spiritual gifts, so which means, you know, um, these are not natural abilities Like you might have natural talents, right? Probably to sing, you know They make music or you know, someone can be very athletic, you know, like very they can run very fast So these are natural abilities That's something that you are born with something that you train to do, etc. You know, that may be very strong It you know and so on So these are supernatural, you know pneumatic cause which means that these are Not natural or not carnal These are supernatural. So the origin is is God. It's not something that you, you know, learn through natural means Now God wants us God's will and desire is that we don't stay ignorant about these gifts That he wants us to learn know about these gifts. Okay Verse two, you know that you were Gentiles Carried away to these dumb idols. However, you were led. So when you, you know, you You this is what this was your background. You were an idolatry And you worship these idols and so he says that, you know, you were Carried away right you were swayed and by all this What what was happening around you by the environment and you were carried away to these idols which were voiceless Right in other words, he's saying these were not capable of speaking speaking to you guiding you right instructing you These were dumb, you know, when he's the use sometimes we Use the word dumb in order to mean People don't know anything, you know, but that's not the meaning here. He's saying dumb in the sense that these These are incapable of Speaking directing articulating communicating right So you were carried away, you know to this to these things. Okay Therefore he's saying No one who Speaks no no one speaking by the Holy Spirit calls Jesus a cursed And no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit Okay, so that's one thing that we have the First thing that we see that Paul is emphasizing, you know, the idols could not speak could not direct Um, where in a in a way they're saying they're dumb in the sense they could not express themselves But here he's saying the Holy Spirit Right, no one speaking by the Holy Spirit, which means the Holy Spirit Spirit of God Um Speaks through man Right, and when he speaks through man, he will Acknowledge Jesus He will not call Jesus as a cursed But he will say Jesus is Lord. He will exalt Jesus lift up the name of Jesus and agree that Jesus is indeed Lord You know, which is what the Lord Jesus taught right if you look at John chapter 14 and John chapter 15 Um, this is what the Lord Jesus taught the disciples. He said, you know, um, the Holy Spirit He will testify of me He will exalt He will exalt the name of Jesus And and so on so So same thing Paul is saying, you know, no one speaking by the Holy Spirit So he's saying, you know, these idols could not speak now God speaks he speaks to us. He speaks through us Right, so no one speaking by the Holy Spirit Are bringing a message about God or from God By the work of the Spirit will call Jesus accursed or will not acknowledge that Jesus is Lord So the fact that a person acknowledges From their heart that Jesus is Lord is because Of the Holy Spirit the work of the Holy Spirit in a person's life and through a person's life Okay, so this is one of the things that when we when we especially when we're studying about gifts to understand that When the Holy Spirit speaks through a person it is never to put down Jesus Right, it's it's never to even when we are working, you know manifesting and I'm sorry doing a ministering through the gifts It is never to Exalt ourselves about the name of Jesus because He his name he is Lord We are not Right, so therefore his name is exalted Above every other name Above the names of And above even us ourselves Right, so his name is exalted. Okay, then Verse four there are diversities of gifts or there are you know different kinds Okay of gifts varieties But It's the same Holy Spirit and the word used there for gifts is you know gifts of grace That is something that is unmerited It is it is a gift of grace something that we do not earn something that we receive freely From from God freely from the Holy Spirit, right? So these are gifts of grace freely given not earned Okay, he doesn't give it because you memorize so many verses or studied so many You know books of the bible or know so much You know about the bible now these are given Because of grace Unmerited So These are given so we do not earn it and these are gifts of grace. So there are Diversities of gifts different kinds of gifts But the gifts come from the same Spirit Verse five there are differences of ministries, right? different kinds of serving different ways of You know serving different kinds of ministries Or ministry offices like the five-fold ministry But it is the same Lord It is the same Lord Even though there might be different ways of different ministries different ways of serving It is the same Lord Okay, then there could be Diversities of activities and the word used there as enigma in Greek meaning workings or effective workings or manifestations, right and Referring to the supernatural works, right? There could be differences or different activities enigma different manifestations of the spirit But it is the same God It is the same God who works in all so he's saying, you know, when it comes to gifts when it comes to activities when it When it comes to ministries the source is God It is the same Holy Spirit. It is the same The Lord Jesus. It is the same God, you know, he uses different terms, right? In verse four it says it is the same spirit different diversity of gifts Then there are differences of ministries, but the same Lord Okay, referring to the Lord Jesus And there are diversity of activities, but it's the same God who works all in all referring to the father. So We can look at it in both ways. We can say, okay, it's the same You know, same Lord Jesus the same spirit the same father who Works all or we can say, you know, it is the same Holy Spirit who imparts these gifts who gives these different kinds of ministries and different Kinds of varieties of activities that work through the spirit. Okay, so so there are different kinds of ministries these are different kinds of activities which you know which Fulfill or result in certain objectives, but it's for the same purpose that people will be benefited helped and um It is from God from the same source right verse seven talks about that the manifestation of the spirit is given to each one Okay, so the manifestation of the spirit the the tangible What do you call? Making visible Work of the spirit the manifestation Right So the manifestation of spirit is given to each one or is given to all Okay, like in a congregation is given to all is given to each one What is the reason it is for the profit of all it is for the benefit of all Okay, so So every which means that the Holy Spirit comes with all these gifts and every believer can Have all the gifts of the spirit or move in the gifts because the Holy Spirit Can release all these gifts through the believing through the believer Okay And then versus eight to ten he goes on to list down. Okay. What are these gifts? Okay, what are these gifts? And Okay, so we'll take a break and then we'll we'll come back right we'll take a break for 10 minutes and come back
