Are spiritual gifts still for the church today — or did they end with the apostles? In this episode, we sit down with Adam Parker to work through 1 Corinthians 12, 13, and 14 in full — and the answer might surprise you.
We dig into one of the most debated passages in all of Scripture: what does Paul actually mean when he says "when the perfect comes"? Is he talking about the completed Bible — or the return of Jesus Christ? And what does love have to do with speaking in tongues and prophecy?
In this episode we cover:
• Why 1 Corinthians 12–14 must be read as one continuous thought
• The body metaphor and why every spiritual gift matters in the church
• The cessationist argument — and why the text doesn't support it
• What "the perfect" in 1 Corinthians 13:10 actually refers to
• Tongues vs. prophecy: Paul isn't picking sides — here's what he's really saying
• The miracle of Acts 2: was it in the speaking, or in the hearing?
• What orderly worship with spiritual gifts looks like today
• The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit — and why we should tread carefully
Whether you're a cessationist, a continuationist, or just honestly trying to understand the Bible — this conversation is worth your time.
🙏 Together, we're going beyond denominations to the heart of the gospel.
