We'll explore who holds the ultimate authority in a church setting, how it impacts the way a church functions, and how to apply scripture to everyday life. Listen in as we dive into thought-provoking topics, including the role of women in the church according to 1st Timothy 2, the distinction between gifts and talents, and the purpose of spiritual gifts. In this powerful conversation, Andrew Rappaport sheds light on the significance of looking to the Word of God for guidance, recognizing various spiritual gifts such as teaching, administration, mercy, and exhortation. We'll also examine the issue of church discipline, discussing the balance between laissez-faire and sin policing and the role of the Holy Spirit in convicting people of their sins.
