Concerning Spiritual Gifts (28 of 40)
Series: 1 Corinthians - And You Think You've Got Problems

1 Corinthians 12:1-11
If you have your Bible, please turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 12. I want to talk to you on this subject: Concerning Spiritual Gifts.

And when a person receives Christ, you receive the greatest gift of all. When you see your need, you see that you're a sinner and that you're lost and that Jesus died for you. And you say, ''Lord Jesus, Son of David, have mercy o ...
