Does your walk with Christ feel stuck, routine, or even pointless? You're not alone. Many Christians feel like they've hit a wall, and the typical Sunday service isn't providing the deep transformation they crave. In this discussion, we break down why so many churches are missing the mark.We explore the concept of "Telos"—the ultimate aim or purpose—and how the modern church has often traded the biblical goal for something much lower, like evangelism numbers or entertainment. We analyze why the "attractional church" model often leads to burnout and spiritual immaturity, leaving believers stuck in the early stages of their faith. Using Ephesians 4 and the stages of spiritual development popularized by John Mark Comer, we reveal the true purpose of the church: equipping believers to attain the full stature of Christ. This is the key to getting unstuck and building a faith that lasts for eternity.
Are spiritual gifts like prophecy, healing, and tongues still active in the church today? This question has created one of the deepest divides in Christianity, pitting cessationists against charismatics. In this deep-dive discussion, we seek to demystify the doctrine of spiritual gifts and find a charitable middle ground.We break down the biblical language (charisma, ruach, pneuma) to build a foundational understanding of what a "gift" truly is. Join us as we explore the three primary lists of spiritual gifts found in scripture and what they mean for believers today:The "Operations" or personality gifts in Romans 12The "Ministry" gifts or church roles in Ephesians 4The "Supernatural" gifts in 1 Corinthians 12By analyzing the arguments from theologians like RC Sproul and examining the extremes of both sides, we propose a path forward—one that avoids the desire to control God and instead embraces a walk of faith, love, and unity.// CONNECT WITH US //► Website: https://divinecreative.org► Email: hello@divinecreative.orgDon't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more content!Video Chapters00:00 Intro: The Christian Divide on Spiritual Gifts01:20 What is a "Spiritual Gift"?
