UNCOMMON SENSE: WK. 37
1 Corinthians 14:1-19 ESV Prophecy and Tongues 14 Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. 2 For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. 5 Now…
UNCOMMON SENSE: WK. 36
1 Corinthians 13:8-13 ESV 8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror…
UNCOMMON SENSE: WK. 35
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ESV 4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
UNCOMMON SENSE: WK. 34
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (ESV) The Way of Love 13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain…
UNCOMMON SENSE: WK. 33
1 Corinthians 12:27-31 ESV 27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.
UNCOMON SENSE: WK. 32
1 Corinthians 12:12-26 ESV One Body with Many Members 12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. 14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not…
UNCOMMON SENSE: WK. 31
1 Corinthians 12:1-11 ESV Spiritual Gifts 12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit. 4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and…
New Year 2026: Flourish
Happy New Year 2026! “Flourish” — Psalm 92:12-15 12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.13 They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God.14 They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,15 to declare that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Advent 2025: Love
The Gift Of Redeeming Love Isaiah 52:13-53:12 He Was Pierced for Our Transgressions 13 Behold, my servant shall act wisely; he shall be high and lifted up, and shall be exalted.14 As many were astonished at you— his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankind—15 so shall he sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths because of him,for that which has not been told them they see, and that which they have not heard they understand.53 Who has believed what he has…
Advent 2025: Joy
Joy Beyond The Darkness Isaiah 50:1-11 Israel’s Sin and the Servant’s Obedience 50 Thus says the Lord:“Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce, with which I sent her away?Or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you?Behold, for your iniquities you were sold, and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.2 Why, when I came, was there no man; why, when I called, was there no one to answer?Is my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver?Behold, by my rebuke I…
Advent 2025: Peace
Peace from God Isaiah 49:1-13 Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar.The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name.2 He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me;he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away.3 And he said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”4 But I said, “I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing and…
Advent 2025: Hope
Hope For Tomorrow Isaiah 42:1-9 The Lord’s Chosen Servant 42 Behold my servant, whom I uphold,my chosen, in whom my soul delights;I have put my Spirit upon him;he will bring forth justice to the nations.2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,or make it heard in the street;3 a bruised reed he will not break,and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;he will faithfully bring forth justice.4 He will not grow faint or be discouragedtill he…
