In a church obsessed with spiritual status, Paul calls the Corinthians back to a simple question: does what we do in worship actually build others up? This week, guest speaker Nathan Bryant unpacks 1 Corinthians 14 to show how gifts like tongues and prophecy were meant for clarity, not chaos, and why love and order must govern our gatherings. He also tackles the controversial issue of women speaking and teaching in the assembly, urging us to let Scripture—not culture or preference—set the pattern for church life. This message invites us to examine when we should speak, when we should be silent, and how to submit all of it to God’s Word.

Scripture References: Romans 14:1-40, 1 Corinthians 11:3-12, 1 Timothy 2:12-13, Isaiah 28:11-12
