10 Tweets on “Why Are You Here?” (1 Corinthians 14)
Here's the sermon in 10 Tweets in our "Letter to the Church in Corinth" series.
1/ Sometime it pays to ask the question, "Why are you here?"
2/ According to Paul, when we gather, "We are here to build each other up."
3/ The Corinthians' answer to the question was flawed. They've made worship about themselves and God alone.
4/ Speaking in tongues is unintelligible speech that expresses a state of mind or a heart-felt emotion.
5/ There is a difference between biblical teaching that is descriptive and that which is prescriptive.
6/ It's hard to pin down exact definitions of the 3 forms of intelligible speech in v. 6: revelation, knowledge, prophecy, teaching.
7/ Prophecy is an intelligible, God-inspired message that builds up, encourages, or consoles.
8/ Take time connect. What message do you send when you avoid connecting with the people of your church body?
9/ Worship with others in mind.
10/ Find ways to serve.
