Introduction

The apostle Paul offers instructions that are designed to ensure good order in the worship life of a community of faith.

Today’s Reading 

1 Corinthians 14:26-40

Today’s Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 14:32, 33a

The gift of proclaiming God’s message should be under the speaker’s control, because God does not want us to be in disorder but in harmony and peace.

Reflect

Reread verses 26-33a. Paul says that “everything must be of help to the church.” What instructions does he give to ensure “harmony and peace” within the worship life of the community? How are various responsibilities related to worship assigned or delegated within your community of faith? What are your thoughts regarding Paul’s statement that “everything must be done in a proper and orderly way” (verse 40)? 

Pray

Holy God, set my heart on proclaiming your message. Teach me to encourage others to use their spiritual gifts so that together we worship and work in harmony and peace in ways that bring glory to you. Amen.

Prayer Concern
