Order Over Chaos

Today’s reading: 1 Corinthians 14:18-40

“But if all of you are prophesying, and unbelievers or people who don’t understand these things come into your meeting, they will be convicted of sin and judged by what you say. As they listen, their secret thoughts will be exposed, and they will fall to their knees and worship God, declaring, “God is truly here among you.”” - ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:24-25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Here we see a beautiful picture of why we do weekly worship times as Jesus’ church. We show up (in-person or online) ready to uplift others and glorify  God together. Anything that threatens this narrow focus has to be put into its proper order. God enjoys seeing peace as we meet, not chaos.

The church in Corinth was misusing the spiritual gifts they were given, and it was preventing others from “falling to their knees” in worship.

Having a plan, an order, to our times of weekly worship is expected. God has always worked mightily within that base of preparation.

What distractions can we eliminate each week so more come to faith in Jesus?
