Guided Question Are you faithfully using the spiritual gifts God has given you to serve others in love, or have you allowed those gifts to remain unused or misunderstood? Summary This episode examines the purpose and use of spiritual gifts, with particular attention to the gift of tongues. Dr. Robert Lewis begins by explaining that spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit to equip every believer for ministry and service. The gifts are not given for personal recognition but to be given away for the benefit of the body of Christ. Because using a gift is an act of self-giving, love must be the motivation behind its use. Without love, spiritual gifts can either be misused or remain dormant. Outline 1. Spiritual Gifts Equip Us for Ministry God gives every believer spiritual gifts so they can actively serve others. No gift is insignificant, and every gift contributes to the health of the body of Christ. 2. Love Must Motivate Our Gifts 1 Corinthians 13 shows that spiritual gifts must be exercised in love. Without love, gifts can be misused or left unused. 3. Understanding the Gift of Tongues Lewis turns to 1 Corinthians 14 and addresses the controversy surrounding tongues. Rather than beginning with modern debates, he encourages listeners to examine what Scripture teaches about the gift. 4. Acts as a Book of Spiritual Transition Lewis emphasizes that Acts records a unique period of spiritual transition as God moved from the Old Testament ministry of the Spirit to the New Testament ministry of the Spirit and established the church. Because of this, the experiences recorded in Acts should not automatically be treated as normative for believers today. 5. The Holy Spirit and the Believer Lewis argues that the New Testament presents the Holy Spirit as indwelling believers when they place their faith in Christ, rather than as an experience believers must seek at a later time. The unusual experiences recorded in Acts occurred within its unique transitional setting. 6. Tongues at Pentecost Acts 2 describes tongues as recognizable human languages spoken supernaturally by people who had never learned them. The gift served as a sign that attracted attention and enabled people from different nations to hear the disciples proclaiming the mighty works of God.
