On muskets and pikestaffs…

  • Divisive speech: pride, confusion and judgement

1. Two gifts, and two goals

  • “Tongues”

  • “Prophecy”

  • The heart of the matter (v4)

2. Self-Directed Worship: Building Babel

  • Lifeless (when we were made for life and meaning)

  • Alienating (when “barbarians” are meant to be brothers)

  • Elitist (when “idiots” are meant to be insiders)

22. Love, to the loveless shown (1 Corinthians 13)

Preached on Sunday 13th June 2021 by Rupert Hunt-Taylor.

Our twenty-second sermon in the series "How to win at Christianity" .


A beautiful insult…

  • The heart of Paul’s argument concerning gifts (Ch 12-14)

  • The heart of Paul’s argument with the Corinthians

1. “Giftedness" without love (v1-3)

2. “Love" without content (v4-7)

3. “Maturity” without Jesus (v8-13)
