In this week’s episode of the Real Truth Matters Podcast, Michael Durham finishes his series on spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12 with a sobering but hope-filled message. While the miraculous works of God are awe-inspiring, they are never meant to steal our gaze from the Giver Himself. Michael lays out six biblical principles designed to safeguard believers from deception, pride, and misplaced priorities regarding signs and wonders. He reminds us that the greatest miracle isn’t a dramatic healing or a supernatural sign—it’s the salvation of a sinner brought from death to life by the power of Christ.

Michael warns against making gifts the centerpiece of ministry, calls for humility when God displays His power, and stresses the importance of testing the spirits by God’s Word. Drawing on the stirring words of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, he urges us to seek the living God who still acts in power, rather than settling for cold intellectualism or chasing spiritual fireworks. This episode will challenge your assumptions, stir your hunger for God Himself, and anchor your faith in the One who gives gifts according to His perfect will.
