This is the audio from the March 1, 2026 sermon, “Unwrapped Languages: Knowing God’s PLAN!”, shared by Tom Lemler at the Deer Run Church of Christ.
Acts 2:4-16, 1 Corinthians 14:6-17
“When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?“
Acts 2:6-7 (NIV)
When we experience the gift of Jesus, it is imperative that we unwrap the various gifts He gives to us. Today, we spend time in Acts where we find this gift of language being used in a remarkable way and then we look at 1 Corinthians to learn from God’s teaching about this gift. As we continue on this journey, we unwrap the gift of languages to discover God’s . . .
-
Purpose: Acts 2:4-6, 1 Corinthians 14:6
- We unwrap the gift of language and discover God’s purpose in this gift was to be able to clearly communicate the good news of Jesus to people regardless of any language barriers.
-
Lesson: Acts 2:7-8, 1 Corinthians 14:7-9
- We unwrap the gift of language and discover God’s lesson in this gift is about all things being done in a manner which leads to clarity rather than confusion.
-
Announcement: Acts 2:9-11, 1 Corinthians 14:10-11
- We unwrap the gift of language and discover God’s announcement about this gift is a declaration of His desire to be heard and understood by all.
-
Nature: Acts 2:12-16, 1 Corinthians 14:12-17
- We unwrap the gift of language and discover God’s nature is to reveal Himself through gifts which elevate Him as the giver rather than exalt the recipient.
Today, how will you hear, and respond to, God’s PLAN?
