Learning From the Corinthians (Part 26) | 1 Cor. 14:19-40

The gift of tongues is regarded as superior and essential in certain Christian circles. However, this position stands in contrast to Paul's actual teaching.

Paul urges the church to especially desire the gift of prophecy because it builds up the entire church, including the one who prophesies — unlike uninterpreted tongues, which only build up the speaker because nobody else understands what is being said.

While the gift of tongues does exist today, God never intended it to be our primary means of prayer and personal edification. This is because all spiritual gifts are given for the common good of the body of the Christ.

Instead, He calls us to:

1) Pray in our understanding, as enabled by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us — which is the true meaning of "praying in the Spirit".

2) Be filled with His Word, remaining steadfast in the truths we have been taught.
