The True Church

1 Corinthians 14:23-25 — What creates many problems in Church? As Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaches from 1 Corinthians 14:23-24, he tells us that what causes so many problems in Church is that Christians do not know what the Church is. Because they do not know what the Church is supposed to be, they have conflict and divisions. Throughout this letter, the apostle Paul addresses many of the issues by pointing them to what God has made the Church to be. He tells them that the Church is about the preaching of the Word of God and the mutual building up of believers. So, when he comes to the issue of spiritual gifts, he tells them that, as members of Christ's body, they are to love one another and put each other first! This radical ethic of love ought to inform all Christians in how they live with one another, and how they are to love on another. Spiritual gifts are not for yourself! But they are so that you can help others and build up the body of Christ. This is a great message that is vital to all believers
