When you come together

In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul is giving instructions on what the Church gatherings should look like. According to Paul, every member of the Church Body should participate in the worship and teaching aspects of the Church. Everyone has a hymn (song), a word of instruction (teaching), a revelation (what God is saying or doing in your life), a tongue or an interpretation (spiritual gifts functioning). Paul says that this is how a healthy Church should function. These things are done to so that the church will be stronger.

Role Reversal

I have been doing a lot of study of the New Testament Church and how it compares to our modern Church, and my eyes are being opened to a whole new way of understaning things. While studying the role of the preacher, I found out some very interesting things, and have realized that our modern “preaching” is very different from the New Testament preaching.
