“Order in Worship: Understanding Spiritual Gifts and Edification in 1 Corinthians 14”
Prophecy's Supremacy and Biblical Context/ Time 0:00Jared led a discussion on the superiority of prophecy over speaking in tongues, using 1 Corinthians 14 as a reference. He emphasized the importance of pursuing love and spiritual gifts, particularly prophecy. He also touched on the historical context of the Tower of Babel, drawing parallels between the confusion of languages and the role of prophecy in the Orthodox Church. The conversation ended with a prayer and a reference to Genesis 11.
Spiritual Gifts in the Church/ Time 5:12Jared discussed the role of spiritual gifts in the Church, focusing on the gifts of tongues and prophecy. He emphasized that spiritual gifts are for all Christians and non-Christians alike, but the gift of tongues is primarily for improving the one who speaks. He also highlighted that the gift of tongues is not for the conversion of unbelievers, as it may repel them and suggest that Christians are out of their minds. Instead, prophesying is more effective in convincing unbelievers and revealing the secrets of their hearts. Jared concluded by stating that the practice of tongues should be regulated in worship, with only two or three speakers at a time, and that the prophets should be subject to each other for peace and order in the Church.
True Spirituality and Women's Roles/ Time 15:32Jared discussed the concept of true spirituality and its manifestation in preparedness and order. He referenced verses from the Bible, emphasizing that God is not the author of confusion and that the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. Jared also touched on the topic of women's roles in the church, citing verses from Corinthians and Timothy that suggest women should keep silent during liturgy and not have authority over men. He concluded that women are permitted to prophesy but not to converse.
Exploring Spiritual Gifts in the Church/ Time 18:37Jared discussed the spiritual gifts and their significance in the body of Christ, using the example of Corinthians chapter 12, verses 12-27. He emphasized that all members of the body, regardless of their role or status, are essential and should work together in harmony. He also touched on an early tradition in the church where women were not allowed to talk during the liturgy but were permitted to prophesy. He concluded by stating that all spiritual gifts are equal in Christ.
Exploring the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit/ Time 20:57Jared led a discussion about the Bible, focusing on the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He emphasized the importance of understanding that the words he shared were not his own but God's. He also mentioned that the next day's discussion would be about Chapter 15, which covers the centrality of the resurrection, the kingdom, and the manor of the resurrection. Jared ended the conversation with a prayer and a blessing for all participants.
In Christ, love ❤️ Jared W Campbell
