"The Goals of the Gathering"

In this text Paul begins tackling the specifics of the "gifts of the Spirit" problem in Corinth. He urges the Corinthians to walk in the way of love which necessarily requires them to pursue intelligibility in the gathered worshipping community for the purpose of building others up, not just other believers but non-believers too. Even if the specifics are different, this text has much to say to the contemporary church today.
