DP on Spiritual Gifts

One of the things I try to do to improve as a preacher and teacher is to listen to other pastors preach and teach. On the way home from CD this morning I happened to pull up a podcast from Darrin Patrick, my A29 brother who leads The Journey in St. Louis. DP is teaching through 1 Corinthians and happens to be in the section on spiritual gifts right now.

Darrin makes some observations in the first 10 minutes of this sermon that I think many of you will benefit from. First, he makes a crucial distinction between true conviction (from the Holy Spirit), guilt (from people), and condemnation (from Satan). And second, he explains why the Holy Spirit's role in confirming your adoption into God's family is so important to your growth and maturity in the gospel.

I am jealous for all of you to grasp these realities. It will be ten minutes well spent.
