A Case for Cessationism (Selected Scriptures) | Tom Pennington

Summary

This sermon argues for a biblical case for cessationism, clarifying that it doesn't deny God's miraculous power but rather the cessation of specific miraculous spiritual gifts like tongues and prophecy. It refutes common continuationist arguments, such as relying on 1 Corinthians 13:10 or the sheer number of believers claiming such experiences, asserting that these gifts served a foundational purpose in the apostolic era. The takeaway is that while God continues to perform miracles, the ability to exercise foundational apostolic gifts like tongues and prophecy has ceased.
