Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from October 25, 2026.
Paul continues teaching the church in Corinth about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, particularly speaking in tongues and prophecy, emphasizing that these gifts should be used to build others up rather than draw attention to ourselves. He explains the importance of order in church gatherings so that everyone, including unbelievers, can understand what is being shared and encounter the truth of God's Word. Addressing the cultural context of the first-century church, Paul reminds believers that God is not the author of confusion but of peace. Ultimately, we are encouraged to eagerly desire spiritual gifts, remain sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and use what God has given us to serve others, share the gospel, and lead people into a deeper relationship with Jesus.
