In today’s episode, we walk through 1 Corinthians 14, where Paul brings balance, clarity, and wisdom to the use of spiritual gifts in the gathered church. The Corinthian believers were passionate about the supernatural, but their gatherings had become confusing, self-focused, and unhelpful to others. Paul doesn’t shut down the gifts, he teaches how they should function so the whole body is strengthened.

We explore the difference between tongues and prophecy, the importance of interpretation and understanding, and why edification must always be the goal in corporate worship. Paul reminds the church that maturity isn’t measured by spiritual expression alone, but by love, clarity, and concern for others.

This episode also addresses a common tension in Spirit-filled churches: freedom versus order. Paul makes it clear that God is not the author of confusion, and that order doesn’t quench the Spirit, it reveals Him. When gifts operate through love and wisdom, worship becomes a place where believers are built up and unbelievers clearly encounter the presence of God.

This teaching calls us to pursue the Holy Spirit with humility, desire the gifts that build others, and ensure everything we do in worship points people to Jesus.
