The Intimacy of Imitation | 1 Corinthians 4:15-17
Imitation gets a bad rap. Often a form of humour and humiliation, imitation in Biblical terms and definition, was a term of honour. It demonstrated a form of allegiance that spoke of great affection between two parties. Paul urges the Corinthian Church to imitate him. Pastor Robin shares about 1 Corinthians chapter 4 as an affirmation but also a warning to the 21st Century church - to really understand the use of that verb in new covenant writings.

There has been much confusion about the manifestations of the Holy Spirit and what they look like. Ross leads us through 1 Corinthians 12-14 and explores what Paul meant when he said, “Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues. But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.”
