  • Summary

  • In this powerful sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson dives into the topic of cessationism through the lens of 1 Corinthians 13. He explains why he is a firm cessationist, arguing that the revelatory gifts such as tongues, prophecy, and revelatory knowledge were temporary provisions for the early church. Drawing from scripture, particularly 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Johnson emphasizes the supremacy of love, which will never cease, even as the revelatory gifts pass away. He explains how these gifts were designed for a particular time and purpose—serving as signs of divine revelation, judgment on Israel, and a bridge to the completion of the New Testament canon.

    Pastor Johnson also explores the temporary nature of these gifts and contrasts them with the enduring power of faith, hope, and especially love, which is the greatest gift. Through this sermon, he encourages believers to focus not on the gifts that draw attention to oneself but on love, the ultimate mark of spiritual maturity.
