Weekend Preview – Speaking Purposefully

May 16, 2022 by Phil Auxier

My 5/15/22 sermon at Crestview, Speaking Purposefully (1 Corinthians 14:1-19), is now online. The sermon began by discussing the problem (your mouth is like a math book, every time you open it, there’s a problem). Of course, this humorous way to begin got us into the deep need we have for heart change in the way we speak.

The section of Scripture I was in dealt with tongues and prophecy. I was helped (and shared) these definitions from Andy Naselli:

“‘Speaking in tongues’ in 14:1–40 refers to an individual’s praising God in a language that neither the speaker nor the hearers understand unless God supernaturally enables someone to interpret. ‘Prophecy’ in 14:1–40 refers to an individual’s sharing with others an encouraging insight that they sense God has spontaneously revealed.”  

From the ESV Expository Commentary on 1 Corinthians

I also was helped by Paul Tripp in the opening illustration on how our words come from the heart and this quote that I closed with:

I hope the sermon points you to Jesus and helps you live out of His power in what you say.

From One Degree To Another?

Yeah, that's right. My one, consuming passion is Jesus Christ, my Lord. I'm totally gripped by one message: the Gospel - the good news that God came after me when I was far from Him. So, the life I live, I live by faith in Him: He loved me and gave Himself for me.

From One Degree To Another is the change that He's accomplishing in me by grace. Growing downward in humility, upward into Him, outward toward others, and inward with renewal characterize my existence.

This site is where I flesh all of these types of things out, including my life as a slave to Jesus, husband, father, coffee-enjoyer, and pastor. I hope it encourages you.
