Harvest Church of Minden

#181 A More Excellent Way

Today we look at Paul's argument of how love is the more excellent way to live because it is eternal, compared to the temporal spiritual gifts. As he corrects the thinking of the Corinthians, we too need to acknowledge what we prop up in place of love in our life. 

#180 The Functions of the Body

Today we look a little closer at the body motif that Paul uses to describe the church and the desired oneness that God has for believers. Oneness is achieved through the Spirit and it is diverse. The Body is made up of many smaller parts functioning as a whole. The church needs to be the same way. 

#179 Father’s Day

Taking a pause from our series, a short encouragement for fathers and believers as we look at Proverbs 3 today

#178 The Gift of Tongues

Today we talk about the last two gifts in the list for 1 Cor. 12, the Gift of Tongues and the Interpretation of Tongues. Both are not exhaustive, but we expand to passages beyond Acts 2 to dive a little deeper into the understanding of Tongues

#177 The Gift of Discernment

The ability to distinguish between the spirits, commonly known as the gift of discernment is something much needed in this age of subjective truth. The enemy is hard at work trying to deceive the follower of Christ, to draw them away from Him. We need to continue to improve our walks in order to deepen our understanding and reliance on Him, and not ourselves, or others. 

#176 The Gift of Prophecy

The gift of prophecy can be controversial as people look to the extreme sides of the gift. But when you look at the purpose that Paul lays out, we find many of us are actually using this gift more than we think, we just may call it something else. 

#175 Gift of Miracles

Continuing in the series on Spiritual Gifts we talk about miracles. Miracles are evidenced all throughout the Bible, and God has used people as a means throughout history to verify his glory and his word. 

#174 The Gift of Healing

Today we explore the gift of healing and what is meant by Paul with this gift. We talk about disagreements and our own apprehensions concerning this gift, while at the same time understanding how healing is rooted in who God is.

#173 The Gift of Faith

Today we explore the gift of faith and what is meant by Paul with this gift. We address common misuses and abuses of the term. And we celebrate the absolute gift of knowing God more and being able to grow in our absolute trust of Him. 

#172 Gift of a Word of Knowledge

The gift of knowledge is something that God has used through history to reach people. The word of knowledge expresses a truth of God and it is more than just facts and information. It is an encouragement and warning designed to draw people closer to himself.
