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.

Burying Our Gifts

Everyone who has become a Christian has received the the Holy Spirit, and likewise, the Holy Spirit gives gifts to every member of the Body of Christ. These gifts are given for the benefit of the Church. These gifts are given to lead and strengthen and encourage and prepare the Body of Christ.
