Ephesians 4:7-16; Spiritual gifts “ the leaders (conclusion); apostles.

Wednesday October 20,2021 Leadership: pastor-teacher, minister (deacon: diakonos), and "elder" and "overseer. It should be noted at the start that spiritual gifts are not limited to sex or a particular age group. Before you say, "Wait, women can't be pastors," it is true that they cannot hold the office of pastor, for they, according to Paul, should not exercise authority over a man in the church. But the Bible does not exclusively tell us that a woman cannot have a gift of... for full notes: https://www.cgtruth.org/index.php?proc=msg&sf=vw&tid=2514

Thursday October 14, 2021 Not long ago, I tended to think that it was best not to consider it and just do the work that you find to do and you will discover it, or something about it. I still partially hold to that view, as agonizing over identifying a gift doesn't seem healthy, nor the idea that the area of the gift is the only area that one can work in. Those are some of the dangerous aspects of searching for it. But, I've modified my view after some more study, after seeing a different aspect of it. for full notes: https://www.cgtruth.org/index.php?proc=msg&sf=vw&tid=2511

Sunday October 10,2021 All that God gives remains His own and returns to Him again. Our life, our gifts, remain God's and they can only be properly used in His service. Since He has at His command all the power in the universe, the Lord God omnipotent can do anything as easily as anything else. All His acts are done without effort. He expends no energy that must be replenished. His self-sufficiency makes it unnecessary for Him to look outside of Himself for a renewal of strength. All the power required to do all that... for full notes: https://www.cgtruth.org/index.php?proc=msg&sf=vw&tid=2508

Thursday October 7, 2021 In our last lecture we saw the truth that transcendent, infinite, almighty God cannot give anything away, but that all things come from Him and always belong to Him. God is the only self-existent One, all others, whether a cockroach or an archangel, are creatures. Because all things are Gods, then all things must return to Him. Unbelievers will be judged, but we are focusing on God's gifts to His believers. for full notes: https://www.cgtruth.org/index.php?proc=msg&sf=vw&tid=2507

Tuesday September 28, 2021 Addendums: Clarifying reading the Bible on your own: this can be problematic or very beneficial. It is beneficial when a person believes in its authority, sufficiency, necessity, and inerrancy. When such a believer comes across difficult passages or seeming contradictions, they know that there is a solution and will humbly explore it. When a person doesn't believe in the authority and inerrancy of scripture, problem passages and seeming contradictions become a source of criticism and doubt. The issue when reading the Bible on your own is commitment to what it is... for full notes: https://www.cgtruth.org/index.php?proc=msg&sf=vw&tid=2501
