P2_Ch26_Do everything to build up the virtue of the church

Beloved saints, today, through the word of 1 Corinthians chapter 14, we intend to look deeply into the use of gifts, the order of the church, and what a gospel-centered community is from the perspective of the gospel of the water and the Spirit. This chapter is specially dealing with the problem of speaking in tongues and prophecy, but its core is exactly one. It is that all things must be used in order to build up the church and to reveal the gospel.
The Apostle Paul first speaks like this: “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.” Here, the word “pursue love” is important. It means that the love spoken of in the previous chapter, that is, the love revealed within God’s gospel, must become the standard.
Desiring gifts is not a fault. However, if that gift is used without love, it cannot build up a person. Therefore, Paul emphasizes prophecy more than speaking in tongues. Because prophecy builds up, exhorts, and comforts people.
