Sermons – 2007 Week 39
The Varieties of Spiritual Gifts (Part 2)
1 Corinthians 12:10-11
The Gift of Miracles
A God who cannot do the miraculous is not God. The claims of Christianity stand or fall depending on the authentication of the miraculous. Christianity is not a dogma.
Many people would say “it is a miracle that I did not fall down the staircase in spite of slipping, etc.” These are not miracles by strict definition. They are workings of providence by God. God uses other Christians, ordinary circumstances, natural laws or even non Christians to effect workings of providence but they are not miracles. A miracle is a supernatural intrusion into the natural laws. It has no other explanation other than God’s intervention.

Sermons – 2007 Week 38
Living By Faith
Galatians 2:20
The sermon began with a somewhat rhetorical question.
What is the meaning of life?
It can mean many things to many people. Some of these are material possessions, pleasure, career, money or social standing. However, there must be something more to it than these worldly perceptions.
Life comes from death. What does this statement mean? It may be a difficult concept to grasp unless one is thinking about a biological cycle of life. No, to the Christian, it means much more. Being alive is not the same as living a life.

Sermons – 2007 Week 37
The Varieties of Spiritual Gifts (Part 1)
1 Corinthians 12:8-11
Spiritual gifts are given to every believer to edify and evangelise. If we do not use them, the church is poorer and loses power. There are permanent and temporary gifts. The temporary gifts are signs to confirm the Word of God. The permanent gifts edify the church.
The Gift of Wisdom
Wisdom is the ability to understand God’s word and will and, apply it obediently. It is the ability to apply truths to life’s situations. It may be the pastor-expositor who studies the Word, interprets and applies it to sermons and imparts this Wisdom of application truths to the congregation.

Sermons – 2007 Week 36
The Distribution of Spiritual Gifts – by Bro. Chua Eu Tiong
1 Corinthians 12:4-7
Once again we see Paul responding to the Corinthian Christians’ misunderstanding and misuse of spiritual gifts. In four verses, he sums it all. There are diversities of gifts for different ministries, they come from one and the same source, God, and they profit all.
Let us look at the summary of the sermon and ask,What, When, How and Why which are some questions that the Corinthians must have asked and so do we today.
