1 Corinthians 14:20-37
1 CorinthiansSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses 1 Corinthians 14:20-37, where Paul addresses the role of spiritual gifts in the church, emphasizing the importance of edifying one another rather than seeking personal blessings, and the use of understandable language to communicate effectively. The passage quotes Isaiah 28, referring to God's gradual and progressive method of teaching, and the limited effectiveness of speaking in tongues in conveying the gospel to unbelievers. The importance of orderly conduct and the existence of recognized interpreters and prophets in the early church is highlighted, as is the controversy and varying interpretations of Paul's command for women to keep silent in churches.
